Buying & Selling

Sorry folks, it's been awhile.  Things have been a bit crazy around here.  As most of you know by now the townhouse has sold!  Yippee!!  I am super excited but a little sad too.  This townhouse has so many memories in it.

I was starting to lose my mind as the original close date the buyer wanted was March 14th.  We countered with March 28th, and we finally settled on March 21st.  Then on the day we signed the papers to start building our new house (more on that in a bit) Pete calls me from work and tells me we have a problem. Talk about mild heart attack.  He said that the buyer had some issues with their lender and they just need to move the closing date out 60 days from then.  Everything else was still fine.  Whew... I was definitely okay with more time here.  

So in 6 weeks we get to do what every 30 year old with a husband, 2 kids, and a dog wants to do....... move back in with her parents.  It's going to be quite cozy but not having to spend money on rent will save us a ton of money which makes Pete happy!

Our house should be done mid summer, but once our dig date is determined in a few weeks we will know a definite timeline.  It is only 90 days from dig to close so things will be moving quickly.  We are building in the Lennar community of Ridgestone in Woodbury.  For those of you familiar with the area it is east of 19 (Woodbury Dr) off of Lake Rd.  There are a ton of kids in the neighborhood so Madison is really excited and it is only 6 miles from Pete's office.  Can't complain about that commute.

Here is our lot.  It's hard to tell with all the snow, but it is quite big.  You can't see it from this picture but there is a walking path that goes between the townhouses and our yard.  It will be nice for riding bikes.

This is what the outside will look like but with different colors.

I will post some pictures of the inside soon.  I'm SO excited, I can't wait!!!!!!!
