Within the first 6 months of 2009 we plan to:
- pack up and move out
- partially unpack and settle in a "new" house
- have a baby
- sell our old house
- watch our new house being built
- repack, move and settle into our new house
Don't worry we know that some might say we are crazy for choosing to take on all these stressors at one time. However, we feel confident that this is the direction that God is leading us and so we are anticipating on experiencing peace throughout this crazy adventure!
On January 4th we moved out of our house and into the house where Kacy grew up. Her parents still own it, but don't live there. We wanted to get the boys fairly settled in to their "new" place before the baby arrives. This also has allowed us to leave behind most of our furniture to help stage our home in hopes that it'll sell quickly. We plan on being in this house until the new house is done being built, earliest being the end of May. It's a blessing to have this house available to us; otherwise, I don't think we would have attempted to try to put our current house on the market and open for showings with our crazy/messy lifestyle and a new baby on the way. We think that would be way more stressful for us!
So as of now, we are living about 20 minutes away from our other house and we are adjusting fine to a more simplistic lifestyle-no tv, couch, bed frames, cribs, etc. So far it's fine, but we are guessing that by the time our new house is built we'll be itching to get fully settled in and open some boxes of stuff that we haven't seen for awhile.
