It's Official!

We're moving!! Yay!! Quite the interesting road it has been the past month. After finding a house in Onalaska, we decided we needed to back out of the offer after the seller's were not very willing to work with us on many fronts. They were extremely difficult to say the least and thankfully we had a few contingency's in place for us to get out of the deal. Unfortunately, she cleans my teeth, so after this mess, I think I better look for a new dentist, :)  But in the end, we are glad things went this way as that house was not a good fit for us, and their selling price was a ripoff!

So anyways, we had until Oct 5th to find a suitable replacement before our buyers removed their offer. The house market in this area is very tough. Not a wide selection of available nice houses at a decent price and/or vacant land. But we got lucky and a house in Holmen popped up last week and we went for it. Offer was accepted yesterday and closing date is Dec 7th (two weeks after Kelly's c-section). It will be a crazy period to move but we will do just fine. We are very excited. And even though Holmen is not where we wanted to live at first, we think the extra 5 - 10 min drive is manageable (as funny as that sounds to some of you). The house will allow us to do alot of customization to areas of it over the years and that was something we were hoping for. But the best thing of all (in my opinion), Kaylee will be a Holmen Viking when she enters school. ha.

Here are a few pics of our future house...
 

 
Keeping our fingers crossed all inspections work out and we can move on to the next chapter of our lives in our new home...
