BIG NEWS!

QUICK UPDATE: I'm very excited to announce that tomorrow we are closing on a house! It's been a long time coming and very dramatic and disappointing at times, but we are so happy we found a house that we can grow a family in. And to make everything more awesome, we have 1 more month on our lease and it's like 1/4 mi away from our apartment so we can move in at a snail's pace (AKA, you-have-a-high-needs-child pace).

The house is smallish (1730 sq ft), but has 4 bedrooms and an enormous backyard, which were both very important to us. We have plans for a swing, a hugelkultur garden, 6 backyard chickens, a picnic table, edible landscaping, and more! All in good time, of course.

I've been packing a box or two here and there, but we're really waiting to get a good feel for what needs to be done to the house before we move in (built in 1975).

Oh, here's something really fun that I've learned. Gianna hates the sound of packaging tape being ripped. You know, like to package boxes. For moving. It makes her scream and sob. Every. Single. Time. Here's the proof:

This should be fun.  ;-)
