I packed my first 7 boxes today....

because as if we didn't have enough on our plate already...we're moving! But don't worry, it's just 10 minutes down the road. (Brittny helped me pack these- I can't take all the credit). We weren't actively looking to move, but we became aware of this opportunity because we are friends with the family that has lived here 18 years -give or take a few years, I don't know exactly. They are subdividing their property, so they will be building house next door and we'll be neighbors!

Front of house

We like the house for many reasons. Although it is older, it's a little bigger, and we will be adding to it before we move in. We love that most of the house is a ranch (we feel as though we're not using all that space we have upstairs), and we really love the yard. It has shade and various places that are good for congregating. We have no trees in our backyard. It's a lot more private as well. They have horses, chickens, and various other animals. It's still in Wake County, and it's even a little bit closer to Chick-fil-A. Also, the land is a lot more country-feeling rather than suburban neighborhood feeling. We'll miss our neighbors here, because we've got good ones. However, it is just time to move on. We closed on the house last week, and it looks as if it might be 6-8 months before we will actually move in. Then we'll put our house on the market to sell. Exciting times!
