SOLD!

That's right, our house S-O-L-D! We have been in the "new place" for 2 weeks now, and I'm finally getting around to blogging about it. Let's start from the beginning. How did we get here? Well, it's been something we've been discussing since October. The biggest decision was to figure out where we were going to move to. We loved Lake Highlands, LOVED our street!!, and loved our house. But, with 2 kids + 2 parents + 2 dogs + home office... 1500SF was beginning to be a tad small. We looked in Lake Highlands, and then we started looking up north. We happened upon a small, new neighborhood in Frisco and fell in love with it. That's right... we're heading to the 'burbs! The house we drove in the neighborhood to look at was a few years old and previously owned. But then we noticed there were lots open, new houses being built... so we stopped into the model home to ask some questions. We thought about it for a week and went back to "seriously" talk about it some more. One more week to sit on it later and we were in a contract!* (with a contingency based if we sold our house) Well, we sold our house within 1 1/2 months. So... we are building a house! More on that to come soon...

It's been a very bittersweet move, but we couldn't be happier with our choice. We are currently in an apartment in Plano while things are underway with the new house. We are close to my parents who are keeping the pups (thank you Mimi & Poppa!!) ... and we are close to the new neighborhood to keep an eye on all the excitement there. A big thanks to everyone who has supported us through this very busy, stressful, chaotic time! We love you 9304 Liptonshire, and will always cherish the many memories we made there!
