PrAcTicaLlY HoMelEss!

Our house is under contract. Wow, what a whirlwind. We hoped it would go fast but never imagined it would only take one week. We have to be out in three weeks...as long as everything works out on the buyers end. They are prequalified and pretty serious though, so most likely it will be a sale. We will hold our breath for a couple of weeks.
The buyers are a cute couple, about 29 years old with a six month old little boy and a dog. They brought their extended family through yesterday to see it again and we were able to meet! I have to say that it was bittersweet....I am very excited for them, but as I walked through and pointed things out, I couldn't help but have an aching in my heart. I will surely miss this home we have created for our family!
I will miss my hibiscus flowers coming up late summer. I will have to tell her the tomato sauce secret to help them bloom. If I forget, please be a good neighbor and tell them.

I will miss sitting on the front porch and listening to the waterfall while I watch the kids play on the front lawn and waving to the neighbors as they drive by.

The thing that kills me the most...the hand and footprints in the concrete. If anyone has a solution for this, I would appreciate it. I need to take them with me I think!!!!

Hannah was 3 years old!

Addie...just one year old!

I will miss the kids playing in the sandbox for hours on end. I will not miss the sand they drug in the house.

It will be sad to leave the playhouse. I made the curtains in the windows. There is writing all over the walls. I loved to watch the kids come out in all different costumes from the dress up box that we keep inside. We used to sleep out there in the summer with the kids. We would take out a t.v and watch movies, have popcorn, and play games.

I will miss the fun parties in the backyard with family and friends. We've had blessing, baptisms, birthdays and more!

I will miss my fireplace that is two-sided. I love that thing!

I will even miss my small kitchen.

When we first bought the house, the old man that owned it and had raised his own kids here, told us that we would love watching our kids run around the circle in this room. And that's exactly what they do, they run around the island, banister, and fireplace in a circle. He was right...we will miss that so much! We have made so many wonderful memories in this house. We will take them with us and hold them close forever!
