~ Homeless

After being on the market for a little over a year, JC & I finally closed on our house December 17th. I can honestly say that this is the greatest struggle I have ever encountered, where I had no real control over how long it would take, or what we would end up sacrificing in order to be successful. Attempting to sell our house has been so incredibly stressful and frustrating, my sympathies go out to those who have been struggling with it for as long or longer than we have.
JC & I lived here for 5 years & it had been a great "home" for us up until we decided to build a family. We have simply grown out of it, and need to move on to a bigger and better "home".
The experience of moving out was bittersweet! We were both relieved, but at the same time it was a bit sad. This is the house that JC and I started our lives together in, it was the house we came home to after becomming husband and wife, it was the house we brought our baby Brody home to. It holds so many fun, tragic, "first time" memories that we will always remember. I get teary eyed thinking about all the things that this house holds within its warm walls.
As they say though...I'm movin' on!
