Sorry for my absence in the past week. I've been a little busy what with wrapping up my graduate class and buying a house. Not to mention the freelance assignments I just picked up. Because why would I ever want to just relax?
On the housing front, our home inspection went great. Slightly elevated levels of radon, which the seller will have to fix before closing. But the house is solid. And oh so cute. I can't wait to move in!
Too bad moving requires packing. I'm majorly dragging my feet on the packing front. But I only have four weeks to box up five years, three bedroom and two bathroom worth of stuff. So it's probably time to get started.
Any packing tips or moving tricks? We need all the help we can get.

Squeee!
I'm so, so, so happy to report that Ben and I got the house we wanted!
Things were looking a bit dicey there for a while... the seller's were playing hard ball and there was another buyer potentially in the mix. We're paying slightly more than we wanted to for it, but it's a great house in the perfect location. It's basically move in ready, minus needing a fence for Stella and paint in Will's room (currently pink). The decor is a little bland right now, but as a dear friend put it, "I can't wait to see you Sam that place up!" Right on.
Here's a few shots from the MLS site. Sorry they're such low resolution. Hopefully I can snap some better shots at the home inspection next week.

| Dining room. They have a chair in there, which we think is weird. But we love the fire place! The chairs you see in the foreground are for the kitchen island. |

| Kitchen. We'll eventually upgrade to black or stainless appliances, maybe new countertops and a tile back splash. |

| Living room. Does the fireplace look familiar? It's a two way fireplace between the dining room and the living room. Love! |

SOLD!
Yippee! We accepted an offer on our house today. So excited!
We were only on the market for about a month, so we're thrilled to have sold so quickly. We close on our current property on June 30, which is a bit of a bummer since it means we'll have to leave our Door County vacation a few days early. But in real estate, you gotta do what you gotta do. Besides we're so pumped to move on and get a new place!
We have about 7 weeks until closing, and no new house picked out yet. Time to get looking!
