What a difference a year makes!
So much to update on… I am sorry to say that I waited almost another month to write since my last post. We have been BUSY. First of all, as I mentioned in the last post…we got a quick offer on our house. After the appraisal came in about $8,000 below asking price (ouch), we adjusted the contract with the buyer and despite the lower sale price, we are going to walk away losing very little money (whew) and will close on April 19th. We rented a storage unit last weekend and have begun the process of moving out of our first home together. It is very bittersweet, as we have poured a lot of love into the house and have made lots of sweet memories there, including the addition of Jackson to our little family. We have developed a neat friendship with our neighbors (they have a little boy 3 months older than Jackson) and will be very sad to lose them as neighbors (of course we will keep them as friends!) However, we are also very excited about the house we have contracted to build, and although spending the summer in a two bedroom apartment isn’t exactly ideal (I haven’t enjoyed apartment living in about 11 years!)…we are looking forward to this summer with Jackson and hope to take lots of advantage of the pool, courtyard, and lack of yard work or home maintenance over the next 6 months. Clint is in Dallas this week and will be in Florida next week…so packing and moving things to storage will occupy most of our Easter weekend. We go to Brownwood the weekend before closing so it all moving and cleaning has to really be done by the 16th. CRAZY.
Just for laughs, below are pictures of Jackson last Easter and this Easter. What a difference a year makes! Apparently he now hates the easter bunny AND bunny ears. He is changing daily…he now says “Bye Bye”, loves to find his belly button, can open doors (thank goodness we will be moving to a place with knobs instead of levers!), loves to read books, can’t get enough of little fruit snacks, enjoys being outside, and has a big sense of humor. 🙂
