Well, this may come as a surprise to some of you because we have kept it under the radar a little bit, but a week and a half ago we packed up our house and moved across town to a condo we are now renting. For a while Collin and I had been talking about the possibility of selling our house and down-sizing some. We finally decided to put our house on the market and give it a try in late November. We spoke with our agent and got the house ready and officially on the market December 1. We had already planned on being in Texas starting the 4th so we would have just a few days of showings with us here before leaving town. Well little did I know those few days would be absolutely crazy. We had like 7 showings in 3 days and boy was I exhausted because every day they happened during nap time. I was more than ready o get out of town an leave the house free for unlimited showings without any inconvenience to me. While we were gone we have a ton more showings and after only 9 days on the market we got 2 different offers. We accepted one and were under contract on December 10. We were thrilled and nervous that it happened so quickly! I really had to get on finding somewhere for us to live thought because we were set to close January 15. The whole process went very smoothly and yesterday we signed the papers and handed over the keys to our first house. It was a bittersweet day for us. A relief to be done with it all but sad to leave the house that we had so many memories in. We brought both of our babies home to that house. Celebrated both of their 1st birthdays there. Had friends over. Had family and friends from out of town stay with us. And many many more things we will always cherish.
I am so thankful I have found a really great condo to rent that is just perfect for us!! There is plenty of space for our family of 4 but not all the excess we had in the house. We are saving so much money by living here because of all of the fees we were able to cut out like lawn care, HOA fees, lower bills etc. and we have some great amenities like a work out room, pool and playground just a short walk from our front door.
We have gotten all settled and unpacked at our new place and are really enjoying it!! I am looking forward to all the fun memories we will make here as a family!! Sometime soon I will take some pics or do a video your of the new place :).

It's great to hear that your making a big move for your family! I can sense that you really love the condo you are renting now. I know its not easy to leave a place that you grew up in and had lots of memories, but you can always make new wonderful memories in your new place. Congratulations, Holly!
