Whirlwind

It has been a while since my last post and that is because things have been crazy here. Here is what has been going on.

We have been working on getting our house ready to go on the market. Cleaning, organizing, painting and doing a bathroom remodel. http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/8643-Charlton-Ln-Saint-Louis-MO-63123/2855677_zpid/

We listed the house on March 28th and had our first open house. It was a success, we got an offer that night and accepted the contract.

Now we are packing like crazy, we have to be out of our house by April 29th.

The weekend after our open house we went house hunting and found a house that we really love. We made an offer and after some back and forth counters and another offer we didn't get the house. After this we decided we would just build a house. We were going to meet with the builders and we got a phone call from our agent telling us that the contract on the house that we loved fell through and would we like to make another offer. We did and we got the house.

We close on June 11th so we will be living at our parents house until we can move in. I will post some pictures of the new house once we get in and settled. We are very excited about this next step in our lives.
