house

I know I know, I've been a horrible blogger. If anyone out there still reads this thing, I'm going to try harder to get back into blogging. I've said it before, but this time I really mean it.

Well, as some of you may know, we've sold our house. We had been hearing about the lack of homes for sale in Lincoln, so we put our house up on Zillow, just to see if there was interest. Well, there was plenty of interest, and we ended up selling it ourselves in about 3 weeks. We are closing on May 19th, but will be moving in with my parents on May 12th. We purchased a lot of land [right], and are going to start building a new house as soon as possible (be prepared for many annoying "house progress" posts). We are so grateful that my parents have agreed to let us stay there for a few months, and hopefully we won't completely wear out our welcome! 

With this move, we'll be changing schools. The kids will go to St John's, which is where I went when we were kids. Ivy will start 2nd grade in the fall, and Ada will be a Kindergartener! Just saying that makes my heart ache a little. Where did the last 5 years go? Ada is so fun and easy to have around, and I will miss her dearly in the fall. Of course, I will still have Eve home with me. She's getting into the toddler stage in which she's getting into EVERYTHING. It's a fun, but exhausting time. 

We've been packing and moving stuff into a storage unit, as we can. I've been able to get rid of a lot of stuff that hasn't been touched since the last time we moved, almost 5 years ago. I like moving, in that it forces you to go through and weed out the stuff you don't need, but I also get sad going through old photos and letters that I can't seem to part with. It also makes me realize how much better digital photography is...rolls and rolls of crappy pictures, only to develop one or two decent photos?! No thanks!

 Ok, I'd better not get too long winded on this post, or I'll get burned out before I start...
