5 Adults, A Baby, 2 Dogs and a Cat

That pretty much sums up our current living arrangements!  Bless my WONDERFUL parents! 

Here is the story:

About mid August, Derek and I were taking a leisure drive to look at new homes (while baby J was taking a car nap).  We found a community that we liked, and a floor plan that we absolutely LOVED!  Through our conversations with the builder, we learned of a realtor, and came up with a game plan to get into one of these homes! 

We put our house on the market...........and sold it in 3 weeks!  Holy Crap!  For those of you who don't know, it takes 6 months to build a house....and we had to be out in 30 days.  So, after having a small anxiety attack, and realizing that staying in an extended stay place for a long period of time sounded HORRIBLE, we searched for other options.  Luckily, they already had a spec home (same floor plan) that would be ready the week of Thanksgiving.  Unfortunately, I didn't get to pick out all of the trimmings, BUT, I do like what they chose. 

So, that is how we got to 5 Adults, A Baby, 2 Dogs and a Cat..............

Last night was our first night with my parents, and it went very well.  Jocelyn slept great, Toby fell in the pool twice (he is pretty much blind), and we got a great home cooked meal.  We still have a few items left at the old house, and we have to be out on Thursday.  Then, we will officially be homeless...kind of. 

Here are some pics of our new Adventure!

We filled up two of these PODS, and still have things left!  I hate moving.............

This picture was taken right after we changed to/bought this house.  Much farther along than the house we were planning on building (which still hasn't even broken ground and would be ready in late January!!)

This picture was taken a week later than the one above.  They have been making significant progress each week, which is so much fun to see.  Very Exciting!

As usual, Derek and I have IMPECCABLE timing!  We chose to move....and the Rangers are playing in the championship series.  We have been attending games/packing/moving for the past several days.  Go Rangers!

Also, last Friday (October 7th) was our 5 year wedding anniversary.  We have been so busy, we didn't even celebrate, no dinner, no card....Just a Happy Anniversary.  Maybe once we get completely moved out, we will go to dinner and our new landlords can babysit for us?!?  Happy Anniversary, Derek.  Can't believe it has been 5 years of marriage and almost 13 years as a couple!
