We put our house on the market and shortly thereafter started receiving offers of assistance. Moving companies really want to help us move and I had no idea there were so many different ones in the area. However, on a daily basis we have been receiving anywhere from 2 – 6 postcards, letters, flyers, etc.Continue reading “Everyone Wants Our Business”

Inspections
The buyers of our house hired an inspector to come look at our house. This is a common practice here in Texas as well as other areas in the U.S. We did the same thing when we purchased this house and the inspection on the house we’re buying was done this week as well. TheContinue reading “Inspections”
Selling A Home, Buying a Home, Ups and Downs
Our house went on the market last week and two days later we received and accepted an offer. Now we needed to find a house and by this point we had already looked at 20+ houses. We had found one we wanted to make an offer on, but at the time we had not yetContinue reading “Selling A Home, Buying a Home, Ups and Downs”
Fun or Stressful?
I absolutely love looking at houses. I love seeing the layout of the different homes. I love seeing how others have decorated. I love looking at flooring choices, tile choices, paint choices. I love envisioning how our family would fit into the space. For me, those are the fun parts of searching for a home.Continue reading “Fun or Stressful?”
Moving Along
After lots of packing, cleaning and organizing, we are almost ready for a fresh coat of paint and some new flooring. By the end of the week, our realtor will put a “Coming Soon” sign in our yard and hopefully a week later our home will officially be on the market. We have started lookingContinue reading “Moving Along”
“Almost” 5 Years
We moved to Texas almost 5 years ago. WOW!!! Honestly, it doesn’t seem like it was that long ago. On the flip side, I’m beginning to forget what it felt like living anywhere else. I suppose that is due to the fact that we’ve experienced a lot of life in the past “almost” 5 years.Continue reading ““Almost” 5 Years”
Shocking
Hubby and I started watching a documentary on Netflix – “The Social Dilemma”. https://www.netflix.com/title/81254224?fbclid=IwAR0TTSaXEB_McQTXR3VX2rUb9LbSmdVCfj8J0rMIgipJXB5Yaa8D73AgE4g. We need to go back and finish watching it, but some of what we saw was not a surprise. At the same time, some of what we saw was absolutely shocking. If you haven’t watched it, I encourage you to checkContinue reading “Shocking”
Past, Future, Today
We’ve been sheltering-in-place for 6 months and while some days are certainly more challenging then others, we continue to find ways to stay sane in all of the insanity around us. Or, as sane as we can be. Life has certainly changed in other ways as well. We are no longer a licensed foster family.Continue reading “Past, Future, Today”
Saying Good-bye, Changes, and Music
Even though the State of Texas reopened a month after closing, we chose to continue sheltering-in-place. We recognize just how fortunate we are to be able to continue staying home, but it comes with it’s own set of challenges. As a homeschool family, we were continually on the go visiting parks, museums, zoos, the library,Continue reading “Saying Good-bye, Changes, and Music”
Shelter-in-Place
We are now entering week 4 of shelter-in-place. We were required to begin shelter-in-place almost 2 weeks ago, but when hubby’s employer told all the employees that they had to work from home and that no one was allowed in their offices, we decided to take it more seriously than our elected officials had takenContinue reading “Shelter-in-Place”
