SOLD!

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that we had a couple who were interested in purchasing our house, but since then we have been waiting because they had to get out of their lease... so tonight at about 5pm we finally got their offer (and it was a very good offer!) and we accepted! So.. after only 1 month on the market, we have officially sold our townhouse! 

We are both really looking forward to being able to really start looking at single homes now. (we actually went tonight to walk through a model home of a neighborhood we like.. haha)

We will be officially handing over our keys on May 13th. Which means we only have 7 weeks until we are homeless! We have spent a lot of time thinking about what we want and I think we have both decided that we would like to build a new home. Obviously there is no way we are going to find exactly what we want and have it built in under 2 months... so that leaves us with the following 2 options... 

1. rent an apartment while we wait to get into our next house 
or 
2. move in with Vince's parents. (who have been so nice in offering to let us live with them for free) 

We have weighed both options and it definitely makes most sense for us to stay with his parents. They have a house more than large enough for us, plus their basement is finished and they don't use it, so we are going to make that kind of like our own apartment. We are hoping that by the end of summer/early fall our house will be ready... but for now staying with them gives us more time to save extra money for all of the many things that go along with buying a new house. 

Anyways.. I am going to go now to watch HGTV and look at more homes online (no joke.. that is seriously what we are doing right now! haha), but I had to share that news real quick because we really are so excited about selling! 

I will keep you all updated with the search for our new home ;o)

Happy Thursday!

Congrats! Such awesome news :-) I bet you both are just soo excited! Oh, and when we moved to MN with my inlaws, we all moved into a large home together. It's not that bad if you get along with them! And it sounds like you'll have your own space, which is important. Have a great weekend! :-)
