Soon after Josh started his new job, we decided that it was time to start looking for a new/bigger house for our family. We put our house up for sale and within a week it was under contract. It all happened so quickly that we really hadn't looked for houses much at all. It turns out that we decided to build instead of buy but we still had to be out of our house quickly. The new owner wanted to be in within 3-4 weeks so we started the long process of packing. It was crazy packing up a house we've been in over 8 years and I was surprised at how much stuff we actually had.
The kids were a big help while packing. Rease helped me pack up a lot of the storage room.
The week before we moved, Josh had to go out of town for work. It was not great timing for him to be gone, but the kids and I worked hard and got most of it done by the time he got home.
Our empty storage room.
The night that we moved, we had lots of help from neighbors and friends. We loaded all our stuff into pods to store for the next couple months until our house is done. And we moved into my mom and dad's basement. It didn't really seem real until the last of our stuff was taken out and we were ready to drive away. We spent a few moments together in the house and the kids all got a chance to say "goodbye" to the house. At the last second, we snapped one quick picture of all of us in front of our house.
We said goodbye to our house but are so excited for the next adventure ahead!
