Simpsons: Catch up....

Wow! Sometimes time just flies by and you feel you cannot catch up enough. Back in January we started the process of selling our current house and buying another. It was an unusual adventure.

We put our house up for sale the end of February. For an entire month we did not have one single person looking. We had nothing. We had been looking at homes all over the area. We found some we liked, but none we loved. We eventually stopped looking because we would not have been able to put an offer on a house until we sold ours. Exactly one month later we had a showing and that lady ended up buying our house. It was so quick that we had to find a house in a week. We knew we could have rented or figured something out, but I was so tired of looking (we looked at around 30+ houses all within an hour from David's work). We originally wanted 3 to 5 acres of land, but we were finding that we need a couple hundred thousand more or a fixer upper. We couldn't afford either. We ended up buying in a nice neighborhood, but out in the country a bit. We have been here almost 3 weeks now and love it.

The commute has been difficult. We are trying to finish up preschools and other errands in our current city (about 45 minutes away), so we are still traveling back and forth. Other than that we love our house and the people are so friendly. It is a 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath house with an unfinished basement.
