Last fall we decided we were bursting at the seams in our house. Tessa is in our room, the girls are in bunk beds, which is fine, except for the ceiling fan that keeps the room cool in the summer is right next to the top bunk. And with the kids getting bigger, the house seemed to be getting smaller. So Nate and I started looking into new housing options. We visited various model homes and looked at a few things for sale here in Lehi. In November we decided to build and picked out a floor plan and a lot. Then right after Thanksgiving we put our house up for sale. We thought with the holidays, we really wouldn't have any interest in the house until after the new year. And knowing that house building is a bit of a slow process, we thought we had a lot of time to worry about selling the house. Well, just before Christmas, about three weeks after we put it up for sale we had a buyer. We went to Oregon for Christmas and then came back home and put ourselves into moving mode.
We packed up all non-essentials and stored them. Then I found a place to rent and we were out of our house by the end of January. After we had cleaned everything out we took an opportunity to go say goodbye to our home of almost seven years. It was good to hear everyone's favorite memories and think of all the changes we underwent as a family. We moved into the house with two little kids and left with four. We tried to improve things in the house and yard. We made many great friends and had great neighbors.
We are excited to move onto the next chapter and see our new house when it is finished! We have been blessed to be happy and close wherever we are!
