Hey, so, I haven't been on this blog in 3 years...woah.
Life is so different now than when last I posted, let me catch you up!
We just sold our old house and are currently living at my moms. Again. I know. We are about to make our 12th move in 9 years. (poor poor Lexi!)
But! This is our forever house.
(or at least 5-10 years)
It's much bigger than our old house, in the neighborhood we've always wanted to live in, in Lexi's school district (in fact there's a walking path to her school!) and we're so excited!
It's also about 30,000 more than we wanted to spend because our housing market here is INSANE right now, and people are having to offer above asking price on already-over-priced homes, and do crazy things like waive inspections! (we did not do that) Why are they "having" to do these things? Well, the first 6 houses we offered on (yes 6) we were seriously outbid by all-cash offers from buyers in California. The only reason we got this house is because we offered on it during memorial day weekend during which the real estate game was really quiet here.
But I digress!
So, we are moving into the house we've been waiting for (we lived at our old house for two years this time! Longest time living anywhere to date), we've had baby number two, AND number three, and things are just finally starting to slow down a bit. Selling our house was a crazy chapter, and because of our weird market it's been super chaotic and stressful. We're almost through inspections now so we will hopefully get our appraisal ordered and get in there soon! I've got some big plans :)
Baby number two, Talon, is 3 now! And baby number 3, Oliver Ryan, is 8 months old. Alexis is 7, just finishing up grade 1, and about to get braces! Time just keeps on going.
I "re-discovered" my blog last night when my youngest sister brought it up and she, my mom, my other sister, and I all perused it for a while. Reading my 100 by 30 list is what really sparked my wanting to get back on here because I had quite a few things to mark off!
I really can't wait now to get this house painted and ready and get the pictures up on here.
Hurray for goals!
