Pack it up, Pack it in

Let me begin . . .

We are MOVING!!!! And we are pretty excited about it!

I will start from the beginning. Lee has always had a bit of a commute to work, about 50 minutes each way . . . that's almost 2 whole hours lost in traffic (and that's assuming there were no major accidents or incidents on the roads).
That alone was enough to have us thinking about moving, but Hudson is another major reason. He is a little boy and all the 'warnings' I've received about little boys from friends basically leads me to believe we needed a bigger yard, and stain resistant everything. ;)

We decided to list the house Feb.27th and we had 5 offers from 6 showings by Feb. 28th. We weren't expecting it to go that quickly so we hadn't bought or really looked at anything, so we are a bit behind the gun. So what I really mean is we're homeless, with an 9 month old baby. ;) We are lucky and have late closing dates so we don't have to be out of here until the end of May.

While we don't have a house yet we do have an area picked out. We are moving to a beautiful town with a small town feel, close to beaches and not too far the city! And the best part is, it will be 10 minutes from Lee's work!!!! To say we are excited would be a huge understatement.

As soon as we know where we are moving I will let you know. We are moving to a more expensive area so while we will be increasing our budget, we will be decreasing our house size by almost 1000 square feet, and definitely looking at older homes. But older homes have tons of character, so I am super excited . . . at least until I have to downsize my shoe collection, say it ain't so!! ;)

So that's our BIG news.
