Goodbye Mountain Ash!


It's really done! We really sold our house! It actually happened. I wasn't sure we would actually ever get through this, but we did. This whole process actually started last year. We first put the house up for sale in March of 2008. We had it on the market until August...until we found out we were expecting our third child and Matt got a new job. Too much going on there...until February of 2009...you know, not too much going on one month before the baby is due...yeah right. It was a busy time but we survived. Showing the house while pregnant with little children is no easy task. We actually had a showing on the house the morning of Charley's birth. My water broke and the first thing I said was...We have a Showing Today! But it is officially done now. We handed over the keys last night to the new owners. I was of course a little bit sad. This was the house that I brought all three of my babies home to from the hospital. This was the house where we started our family. So many "firsts" happened there. I am sad to leave Mountain Ash but also very excited to start our new adventures in our new home. We are so very blessed and thankful for all God has provided us. We give Him all the glory!



It was a good house.

It's official! Looking like miniature people next to our new home's sold sign. (I know we're small people, but come on...that's a big sign...)

Yeah! So glad you guys are finally all moved! Is it sad that I got slightly emotional reading this? It must be the lack of sleep. :) Can't wait to make new memories at your new house! :)
