Anticipation

Megan said... seriously so inspiring, love this idea! what made you want to do this? (downsize)

We had been debating whether or not to prepare to sell our townhome. We were feeling cramped and like we needed more space, but really we just need to get rid of stuff and make more space! our townhome is amazing. We just needed to realize that. It was brand new when we moved into it. It's bigger than a lot of peoples homes that we know. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Sure, there is not a lot of storage, but it makes it cozy. So we decided to stay for a few years until we can make a good profit on it, and we will make an excellent one when the market turns around. We also LOVE that we don't have to mow, fertilize, landscape, pay for garbage, or shovel snow (especially now that it's winter!!) It's so nice. We decided that just because the market is really good for buyers, doesn't mean we need to buy. We don't want to purchase a home because the price is right. The time has to be right too. And the space. It's not a decision to rush, or jump into. The next place we move into we plan on staying for a loooong time. We hate moving ;) Right now we would only be able to afford an older home and we don't want to invest our time and money into upgrading, maintenance, or rennovating just now. We are hoping to purchase something that is not brand new, but built within a reasonable time frame. Thankfully, we haven't had any problems with anything in our home because it's new. So to make a short story long, that's where the downsize idea came to us!

Side note: Thank you for everyone sending us love and support about this idea! we've already received a few e-mails from people saying they are really interested in looking at our items/putting dibs on them before we put them up for sale!! amazing! Thank you!

Today is my Friday. I am bursting at the seams with excitement to get out of here and start our Holiday tonight!! Tomorrow we are going to see Beauty and the Beast and I can't wait. What a great way to kick-off Christmas. We are getting a little nervous about the snowstorm coming our way since we will be traveling on Christmas Eve, but nothing can damper our excitement. This is the best week of the year! I can't wait to get down to Bunny's and nest in her home for the week with my favorite people. I don't think I can wait..................
