We're moving!

Our house finally sold! With only 12 days left in the contract, someone came along and surprised us. We'd really written it off and were thinking we'd be painting the new nursery over Thanksgiving, but that's not the case!

Soooo... we were able to negotiate a contract on our new house just down the road which we're really excited about. It's contingent on our current house closing, but we're not worried about that since we have buyers with good credit putting 20% down. We're really excited about our new neighborhood. The house is awesome and has a lot of features we were missing here like a screened in porch, front porch, bigger garage, etc. We're really moving for the amenities of the neighborhood though. They have a huge pool, club house, playground, and 9 acres of parks/walking paths. It is also a very active community with lots of social clubs (books, knitting, cooking, etc.) and a lot of kid friendly traditions (4th of July bike parade, Halloween party, Santa at Christmas, etc.) We just know our girls will love growing up here.

I'll try to post more pictures later. We're in a flurry of packing, hosting a moving sale (or two), preparing for our trip to Italy in 2 weeks (yikes!) and getting through our house inspection Monday and whatever might follow that! Wish us luck!

Here's the kitchen. You can't see it in the picture but there's a very large butler's pantry that connects to the formal dining room. I love it!

This is the master bedroom which is on the main floor. I love the beadboard on the ceiling! This continues throughout the master bath and on our screened in porch. Who would have thought to put beadboard on a ceiling?

This is the master bath. I look forward to the nice big shower!

Formal dining room. Why do they even make these anymore?
