SOLD!

Here's the picture with the SOLD sign...it's not a fantasy anymore-it's reality!! :)
We sold our old house!! It has been on the market for over two years now, and if any of you know me personally-you understand the nightmare it has been for us these past few years. This was the house we bought after we found out we were pregnant with Aiden. We had what was thought to be a great Realtor and had a guaranteed buy out from her. The long and the short of it, she fixed it so she could back out due to a loophole in the purchase agreement and told us she was not buying the house as we're on our way to the closing AFTER she put us up in early possession of our current house with papers signed. We were really in a pickle, and greatfully had the graciousness of our family to help us out of our predicament. A lawsuit was filed-etc...it's been a long process.
But now, after over 2 long years of waiting it seems like the headaches will finally go away :) We are set to close by the end of this month, so we'll finally celebrate properly at that time when the papers are signed at the closing table. Until then we are walking around with huge smiles on our faces :)
Thank you so much to our wonderful Realtor Dawn for all her hard work and dedication...we only had to go through about 5 other Realtors to find her...but it is working out in the end.
Many lessons learned from all this, I must say. I still don't think I regret our decision to buy the house in the first place, I just regret who we trusted.
Thank you to our wonderful family for all the patience you have had with us during this ordeal. We are so greatful for all the support you have given us. All of your help with taking the necessary steps to rectify our situation has been invaluable, thank you for all you have done!
We love you :)
So I'm hoping to get a picture taken of the house with a SOLD sign out front, that way it won't seem so surreal to me...haha :) WOOOOHOOOO!!!!!

There was something special with that house; your first. Many firsts actually. Your first child, a first anniversary, a first project built for Aiden. It was a perfect first house. Don't let the Marla ordeal ruin the good "first" memories you had there. But as always, nothing stays the same. We learn, we grow, we move on and create new firsts and new memories.
Love, Daddy

I agree. That's why after everything we've been through, we still loved the house. It was funny that Devin was almost crawling when we went down after the vandalism, and thought to ourselves how wonderful it would have been if Devin took his first "crawling steps" in the same house his brother did. I hope the new owners love it as much as we did and take good care of it. Many good memories are there.
