New Beginnings

We didn't take the decision to move lightly.

It was months and months of conversation and lists of pros and cons.

When we put our house on the market we weren't expecting to sell it the next day.

All of that happened without a back-up plan.

Where would we go????

Lucky for us, we have an amazing "village" of friends looking out for us.

Just so happened, Chris was willing to move out of his house and live with Stacy for a couple of months until we moved into our new house.  WHAT????  We will be forever grateful to them.

So......our "halfway" house until we move.

It couldn't have been more perfect.

Still in the Ferndale school district and Avery can ride the bus to school with her friends every day.

It's a very nice and friendly neighborhood.

Avery's got tons of friends there already, and Annalise has made a new BFF in the girl next door.

We packed up most everything in pods and just moved the girls' rooms, our bed and some misc. things.  Chris left everything else for us to use.

I think Mark really likes the family room!

On another note.....we FOUND our house!!!!!!!!!!

We think it will be perfect.

The house will work great for the 4 of us, there's space for Gramps, a huge shop 

AND a bonus Quonset hut! 

It used to be a winery.

We'll convert their "tasting room" into Gramps' home.

 

We're about a block outside of the Ferndale School District which is a bummer, 

but fortunately the girls will still be able to stay at their same schools.

Wow.  It's all coming together!
