moving on out...

over the last several weeks our lives have been in chaos, and over the last week we have looked around and wondered if we have made any progress packing at all.  we have, but are still not done.  today, was an anticlimactic day...we officially signed our house away.  we went to the title company today, have the movers coming to take all our big stuff into storage on Wednesday, and hand over the keys to our first home together on Friday.  since it's been hard to get much done during the week (because of work and life), we have relied on the weekends to do most of the packing.  thankfully we have been blessed to have wonderful family and friends who have taken Will and Isa on the weekends so that we can get all this done.  however, we are ready to focus back on family.  the kids have been such troopers with all the disruption, loss of toys, and moving around.  we can't wait to put stability and routine back in their lives. 

so where are we going you ask...
as many of you know, we have had our home unofficially listed for sale for the last 2 years.  last fall, we were asked if we had any interest in buying a home from a family member.  we did, and we love it!  Uncle Joe and Aunt Maureen had this home custom built in 1997, and now we will be moving in to set our roots there.  It is so special to us that the home is being kept in the family.  we know how much they have loved it, maintained it, and cared for it.  we can't wait to make our own memories there and love it just as much.  this will be the home that our children will be raised in.  you can't imagine how special this is to us. 
here it is...

it's a 4 bedroom 2.5 bath colonial on .52 acres.  it couldn't be more perfect for us, and as of May 28th, we will call it HOME.   farewell Barton Rd, you will be missed... hello White Pine we look forward to the memories.
