WE'RE MOVING!!!!!

Yes, that's right. Despite the "buyers" market, we have a contract on our house and got more than anyone thought we could! Whoopi!

One problem....we don't know where we are moving to! Yes, I know, we have a contract on a brand new home in Frisco, which would be quite lovely, except that it's in Frisco. Once we got the contract on our current house, we decided to check out some homes in Highland Village just to be sure Frisco is what we wanted, and now Frisco is more the back-up plan.

Here's a little background.....

2003--We decide it's time to buy a home. We find a development out in Aubrey and start making some plans to buy there. We end up deciding to buy in Lewisville.

2006---We find a development in McKinney. Our first house goes on the market and sells in a month. We decide with two kiddos it would be nice to live close to family and we buy our current house.

Fast forward to a month ago. We decide now is a good time to move up in house/neighborhood with interest rates being so low. Find development out in Frisco and this time we actually enter a contract and pick out all the fun stuff (although for our budget, there really wasn't much picking).

So the trend seems to be: we want to buy a new home, but can't afford that here, so we look elsewhere. We then decide that new isn't as important as proximity to our families and our church home....we really don't want to leave our church right now, there's too much at stake.

We have a couple possiblities out in Highland Shores and few more in other parts of Highland Village. Coincidentally (and I really don't believe in coincidences), the house two doors down from Justin's parents is back on the market. It was for sale back in 2006, but priced a little out of our budget.....everytime we drive by one of us says, "Gee, wouldn't it be cool if that house came back on the market" and now it is.....eerie.

So here we are in limbo land, a place neither one of us enjoys! The inspection for our current house is tomorrow and hopefully nothing huge will come up and break the deal. Then I have four, yes, four weeks to pack up this house. Should be fun!
