We're Packing Up!

Goodbye Home!

We are super excited today! We accepted a great offer today after only being on the market for 2 weeks! We have been praying for a quick sale...I am not a patient person, and we definitely feel that this is an answered prayer! Now we just have to make it through the inspection and appraisal! We are so thrilled to start this new adventure, but it is bittersweet to leave our first home. I bought this house in 2006, I had graduated from UALR and was excited to start my "grown-up" life...plus it was across the street from the future home of 2 sweet little boys that I couldn't get enough of! Steve and I were had only been dating about 2 months and he helped me rip up all of the old flooring and repaint everything...I really don't know if there is a spot in this house that we haven't updated in some form! Veronika was 3! Now, Violet is 3 and Veronika is 9! How did that happen!

I bought this house in April 2006 and we got married in November 2006. Our plan was to live here for 2 years, move to a newer house and have a baby! As we all now, God's plan is not our own and I am so thankful for that! Baby(ies) came sooner than we "planned", I was able to stay home and our 2 years turned into 6 years!

The kids are excited about moving, they ask to go look at the new house anytime we are in the area, even if we just drove by it earlier that day and nothing has changed...and we always oblige because we like to go look at it to:) They are excited to pick out paint colors and they love running through the walls since there is no drywall up! I want to record these sayings so I won't forget them years down the road. Everytime we drive up, Phoenix gets excited and says, "House!" Violet told me the other day that she is "so proud to live in that house." and Veronika said, "God has blessed us so much it makes me cry!" I love those sweet babies!
