House Update

Well everyone's good thoughts and prayers that they have been sending our way must have done the trick!  We have sold our house and will be closing in just a few weeks.

So, what's next you ask?  Well, we are trying to get everything figured out right now.  We think we have secured a house to rent in Adel.  It's an older 3-bedroom ranch in Adel.  It will suit our needs while we work through the construction process.  It will be nice to get moved over to Adel and start getting settled in the new town.  But we are really sad to leave Ankeny.  Ankeny has been a great home for the past 6 1/2 years and it will be difficult to say goodbye to the great friends, neighbors and conveniences that we love here.

A move to the other side of the city also means that we have to find a new daycare.  We have toured a daycare center and will be getting the kids registered there.  This will be a big change for all of us.  Our kids have always been in an in-home daycare so the Center environment is all new to us.  I know there are advantages to both and I think at the age the kids are at now, they will really benefit from a center.  And with Camden starting pre-school in the fall, this will work well because she won't have to transported since they have on-site pre-school.

And finally we are just starting to dig into the building process.  We are working on selecting a builder and a floor plan right now.  We need to get this decided quickly as it won't be long before spring is here and they can start digging.  Typically by the 1st of April the weather is right to dig and pour concrete.  That's only about 6 weeks away!

Exciting times ahead.  We're looking forward to seeing how the next few months unfold!
