The New Pad

I apologize as this post is well overdue...many of you know WE MOVED! We heard that interest rates were EXTREMELY low so we initially thought about refinancing. Then we started discussing the possibility of moving, which is something we weren't planning to do for a LONG time. After much thought, we decided we'd put our house on the market in hopes of selling it for a decent price (considering the current market). Now that our family has grown and we have friends/family from out of town who frequently stay with us, we've been wishing for extra space. Much time and money went into our old home to get it "market-ready" and was well worth it. On March 3rd it was listed...was on the market for 2 months, and in early May, we accepted the third offer we'd received.

From March to early May, we viewed many homes and we were able to narrow down the style, location, etc. of our prospective new home. When we sold our home and were finally able to put an offer on a home, the home had our eye on for a while just gone under contract (bummer). Little did we know, there was a better fit waiting for us. In the end, we ended up buying a home 2 miles south of our old home, in the same school district, and close to everything we've been accustomed to since we moved to KC. We closed on June 21st, and made the big move on June 22nd. Thankfully my mom was here to help with the girls while Steve and I dealt with packing/moving. Thanks again mom....you're amazing!

Five days after we moved, we left for our two week vacation to MN, came home for a day, and left again for a long weekend at the Ozarks. Now we're back for a while, and able to enjoy, organize, and get settled in. The girls are adjusting well, even though Emry asked to go back to the "white house" at first. Totally broke my heart but the request didn't last more than a few days.

We loved our last home and will cherish our time there. Steve and I lived there for 6 years where many memories and experiences were created.

However, we're SOOOO looking forward to our future in the new home. Please come by anytime! We'd love to have you.

*Quick info on the house: New construction (was a model home), Two-story, 4 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, 4-car garage (the 3rd stall is 40' deep), in a cul-de-sac, unfinished basement.
