What We Have Been Up To

Wow!! The summer of 2010 is one we will not forget. I will be doing a more detailed post later with pictures and more information, but for now I wanted to give a brief update of our crazy life.

We sold our house in Little Rock in June. The people who bought it needed to be in it quickly, so we moved out on June 21st. We have been living in Fort Smith with my mom since then. Since the house we were buying in Phoenix was a short sale (that means the people that own the home owe more money on it than it is worth...it takes the banks a long time to approve the sale price and that in turn makes it take a long time to be able to close on the house) we were planning to stay with my mom for a couple of weeks and then head out to Phoenix.

On July 3rd, Richard informed me that his company is expanding and that we had the option to move to Dallas since we had not yet "bought" the house in Phoenix. So of course we picked Dallas and we are in the process of buying a house in McKinney, TX. We are set to close on August 10th.

We are so excited to be closer to friends and family. At this point we are so ready to move-in and feel normal again. A big THANK YOU to my mom for letting us continue to stay with her. I will be posting again soon with birthday pictures and moving day pictures!!
