Day One!

The day has finally arrived...MOVING DAY! We having been preparing for this day for weeks, and dreaming about it for months. We moved almost all of our belongings to storage and were able to get some of our stuff to the hotel. We still have to move several boxes to the hotel and move some items to the land. I am surprised that I was not very emotional today. I think that it was just too busy and we are just so ready to get to the land! I have been reminiscing over memories the last few weeks, but I am SO excited about our future at the land that sadness has not set in!
I wanted to give some background information so you will know what we are doing and why we are moving into a hotel!  We decided to sell our house in September 2011.  We had no idea what we were going to do or where we were going to go but we felt that God was leading us to move and make a change.  After months of praying and searching we found some land that we loved.  In January 2012 we made an offer on 20 acres of land about an hour from where we currently live.  We had our house for sale by owner but had not received any offers.  We met a great realtor and decided to list with her.  We spent a fast paced long week painting and redoing lots to the house.  After just one week on the market we had an offer!  Unfortunately that offer did not work out but 2 weeks later we had another one!  We are set to close on our house in Mid April.  While we were trying to sell the house we were researching options for housing on the land. We decided to purchase a modular home. We are super excited to have it on the land! We were able to get a great floor plan that will accommodate us homeschooling and Troye's dad living with us.  I have never wanted a large house, just one that has a great layout! 
So we are a week away from the closing on our sold house.  We will then close on the new house and land and then construction will begin!  While we wait on the new house to be completer we are technically homeless! Ha!  But we are looking at this as a time of adventure! We have decided to stay in a hotel near Troye's work.  So stay tuned as we embark on this Hotel Adventure!

Good Bye to the house!

Ready to go to hotel!
