Our new chapter begins....


So long our lovely home....

I am happy to say that we found renters for our home. Although it will be sad to leave I am very excited for this new chapter in our lives. We decided a few months ago after hearing of an amazing deal on apartments through Andy's work that we would rent our house out and move. We knew it was risky, and there was no guarantee that we would find a renter, but we went the first day and put a deposit down on the apartment anyway, knowing we had to take the chance. It has been a very stressful few months for us, money has been tight, and things were so unpredictable. We took the house off the market during the holidays and reposted it the end of January. We had a bit of interest, but nothing serious. Knowing that the move-in date for the apartment was rapidly approaching, we made a price reduction to try and generate more interest. Well it worked, and we had two applicants in two days. We debated between the two and ended up picking a nice professional couple with two teenage children. We feel really good about our selection, and will be signing the lease with them on Saturday. We will be moving out on March 18! I am excited that we will be saving hundreds of dollars each month, money we can finally start putting away! i can finally feel good about having gone part time at work, and Andy can feel less pressure as well. All and all it will be a good thing for our family! So with that said... Bring on the packing.
