It's Official we are Homeless!!!!

For those of you who have not heard the story yet. Keith and I have been think of moving for a while now. For the last year it has just been talk. Well about 2 weeks before Christmas we found this new housing development that was being built about 5 miles up the road. We walked through the model homes and really like them. So we decieded we would sign up to build one contingent on if we could sell our house(with the current market we were not even sure we would be able to sell our home). So we put our house on the market a couple of days later. It was in the middle of a huge snow storm so we did not expect any one to come walk through the house until at least after christmas maybe even new Years. Well 2 days after the house went on the market someone came and looked at our house. That night they made an offer and 25 days later we moved out of the house and are now currently living with my sister Whitnie until our house is finished being built. Which will probably be around the begining of July. It all happened so fast we didn't even have a chance to tell anyone including our family that we had put our house up for sale. Anyways this was our first home and we had so many great memories in it. I hope the next family enjoys it as much as we did. Below are some pictures of some of the upgrades we did.This is what our pod looked like after we packet everything into it. Unfortunatley it was still not big enough and we had to go rent a storage unit as well. Who would have thought that 2 people could accumulate so much stuff in just 5 years.
