The Winds They Are A Changin

Well, it's really happening...we're moving!  (read: excitement mixed with butterflies in my stomach)

The month of August was a month of considerations.  We looked around at houses, lots, and neighborhoods, talked to builders, and talked A LOT about the pros and cons of all of the choices before us.  By labor day weekend, we were sure we were listing our house and taking the leap to change housing for our family.  

On September 8, we listed our house online ourselves (really, this was Brent's jurisdiction).  We showed the house three times and by September 15, we learned we had an offer coming.  Life since then has been a flurry of roof inspections, roof replacement, insurance claims, full house inspections, etc, etc.

One month from today, we will close on the sale of our house and will be homeless...more accurately we'll become tenants of Ruth and Kerry Picker:)  

Simultaneous to the listing of our house, we've been working with a Radcliffe Homes to finalize a house plan to build on a lot in Stewartville, MN (just outside Rochester, for those not familiar with the area).  Dates and details are not finalized, but we're told the process of building will take four months start to finish.
