We've moved!

After spending 9 years in our previous home, we've moved. Realizing that we were going to need more space with the new baby on the way, we put our home on the market in early February. We received an offer over the 4th of July weekend and after some negotiations, we accepted the offer. Knowing that we wanted to build from scratch again (rather than buying a previously owned home) we started looking for our next home more seriously as our closing date neared. Now that we've closed on our old home, we're living temporarily in an apartment while our new home is under construction.

Is it ideal that we're in a smaller space with baby girl's arrival coming so soon? No. Is it a perfect situation? Not really. Is it working? Yes. Is it only temporary? Yes. Will the end result be worth it? Absolutely!

I'll try to remember to post updates about the house along the way. Today the first work crews are supposed to begin clearing trees. Clearing and grading should last a week or so. Footings should be poured the week after next. :)
