For Sale and Sold...

A little over ten years ago, we signed the contract to have our current house built. We were still in school, married maybe a week, and fell in love with a paper copy of a floor plan. We drove from Madison, WI to Round Rock, TX and back in one weekend to make selections and recheck the lot we had picked.

Our house finished in March of 2002 and we were so excited to move in we moved in without any electricity as the builder was fighting the city on something with the roads. We didn't even care that our furniture was being delivered in the dark and we did as much in the daylight as possible. A couple days later the power was on and we were SO happy!

A couple of months ago, we decided it was ready to make a location change and we hesitantly put the house on the market and signed papers to start building a new house contingent on the sale of ours.
This past week we signed the papers officially selling the house. It was a day of mixed emotion. I thought I would be ready to jump for joy and shout from the rooftops but I wasn't. We are going to miss this house - even with the few things we always wanted to change, we have never found a house quite like it. We went into seller's remorse and I am not quite sure we have snapped out of it yet.

We are excited about the new house and nervous at the same time. We became accustomed to some of the things in our house that the new one will not have. I am sure once we are settled, we will find many reasons to love our new house too. For now we are excited for a new adventure.


The house seems to be moving along and we are hoping it keeps going quickly. We fortunately have about a month and a half (we hope) to pack up and move on... Hoping to move straight to the new address but only time will tell. For now, we pack... A LOT of stuff!!!!
