The rest of this month and the beginning of next month, we will be packing up our house and moving! We found a beautiful home, with lots of SPACE and perks just about 30 minutes from our house now. Not to mention it is 5 minutes from Nana's house and 5 minutes from Aunt Kim and Uncle Roger's house!!!!!
The space in our current house is just not enough and our electric bills are out of control, even though we have done everything to keep them down. There's nothing really that can be done because the house is just made cheaply, quickly and it's old (built in the early 70's), and even though it's renovated with lots of new updates, it still has been horrible. Our electric bills in the winter/summer months are somewhere between $450-650 dollars...for the past 4 years!! The new house has been $139 dollars each month for years....AH-MA-ZING!!
I know it's not the best timing for a move. It's freezing. The girls are just one. Oh yeah, and we're having a baby ANY day! But oh well. Luckily we have a great support system that is willing to help us pack, move and help with all four of the girls!
We honestly couldn't be more excited for our family!
Here are some photos I took on Saturday!
| Also has walk-in closet! |
| Shower is on opposite side. |
| I love the molding...also will be the girl's room - being painted light purple, same as other room. |
| We will be painting one weekend before we move in - light purple for the girls! |
| Seriously it couldn't be more ME! |
| Love the space on tile (not carpet) we have coming in the door and storage for all of our strollers, boots, shoes, coats, ect, ect! Oh it is awesome to have SPACE! |
I din't get any photos of the kitchen, but I will. We are all standing in there talking so I didn't want to move everyone out just for a photo.
Seriously, to have a real backyard with grass, a patio and a deck, it is going to be awesome! To have cabinets under sinks for storage...something we don't have now which makes the linen closet very tight. To have brand new carpet, tile and hardwood floors...wonderful! To have our kitchen table and high chairs in the actual kitchen, with tile floors, and not on carpet in the dining room...awesome too!
We are literally so excited. We'll be moving on the 10th and 11th of February, but we're allowed to bring stuff up whenever we want in the next few weeks since it's already vacant.
Now we just are waiting for E to make her arrival, paint and clean it up (not much cleaning has to be done since everything is brand new practically), but I need to clean it myself and sanitize every inch before my babies start crawling around.
(Oh - AND Miss Madelynn is practically walking now! I am sure by the time we move in, she will be a full-blown walking machine!)
Awww! I'm so excited for you! That house looks amazing! Are you renting it or buying it?
ReplyDeleteExciting! Are you going to put the girls together in one room and Little Miss E in the other?! Or are you splitting them up?! Looks like a great place to raise your family!
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you! It's beautiful!
ReplyDeletethat is awesome! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you!! I also was wondering how you would have the girls' rooms? 3 and 1 or 2 and 2? And girl did you not have a washer and dryer before??? Again so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteYay!!! I'm so excited for you guys! I cant wait to see the new house, the pictures look awesome!! No more crazy landlord in the old house and hooray for the washer and dryer, such an improvement over the one you have now!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the house! Moving is a lot of work, but SO much fun! I am glad you have support to help you out! Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteThat new house looks great! And those electric bills are outrages!! Does that include your heat too or is that just electric?
ReplyDeleteYay!! I'm SO happy you y'all! I LOVE the playroom area and deck, oh my goodness what I wouldn't give to have a play area! That's awesome about your sister moving in, I'm sure that will work out great for all of y'all. :)
ReplyDeleteSO exciting! Looks like a very beautiful and spacious home!
ReplyDeleteWHile I'm sad you won't be living 4 minutes from us, I am very happy for you guys! There is lots of space for the girls (and William) to play and finally no more stackable washer/dryer in a closet. woohoo!
