Major Blog Update Time - 1st update - MOVING

I've gotten behind on the blog, which I just committed to not doing about 3 posts ago! Anyway, I have a good excuse this time - we've been even busier than normal! About a month ago we made the wise decision to list our house before buying another one. It was a tough decision, but we ultimately decided that while interest rates are at record lows, and home prices the same, we should at least see what happens when we list our house. So we listed it...the first week we had very little interest. The second week I planted St. Joseph in the ground and said the Prayer asking for the intercession of this Patron Saint of Real Estate. That was on a Thursday. That whole weekend our house had a revolving door. We got an offer on Sunday which we ended up accepting after a few counter offers. St. Joseph is the best! Not only will I dig him up when this house closes and put him in a place of honor in our new home, but I will also make our next child's middle name Joseph, if he is a boy! Anyway, we SHOULD close on the new house on 6/30 and then spend 4th of July weekend moving. This house is set to close on or before 7/16. Now we're just waiting on the reports from the inspections. It's been a whirlwind of repairs, cleanings more cleanings, more repairs, etc. We don't have a single box packed - we can look forward to that this weekend! Can't wait to show everyone the new place - there will be plenty of room for family gatherings, guests, and parties. We're very excited, though it will definitely be hard to leave Capistrano Court! Fortunately, I'm sure we'll stay in touch with our neighbors, since we're only moving about a 1/2 mile away.
