Nesting

There is a little phenomenon amongst preggo moms called nesting, where women fix, decorate and get their homes ready for new babies. 

We definitely did this when I was pregnant with Landon - I had a great time decorating his room and loved having Jeff paint, assemble furniture and in general help me spruce everything up (while I sat around eating chocolate and giving orders). 

This time? Apparently we decided to go a little crazy. If everything goes according to plan (and it's looking like it will) we will close on a whole new "nest" in a couple of weeks. 

Seriously.


We have been talking about moving for a long time. Jeff's commute is long, and it has been really hard on him - and the rest of us - for a while. When he got a new job, in the SAME office complex area we decided it was time to get more serious about looking for a new house.

I saw this one come online when Landon and I were in Iowa. Jeff loved it too and made an appointment to see it that same day. We made an offer on it that night (keep in mind I was still out of state!) and we weren't the only offer at that point. We found out our offer was accepted and we went under contract before I ever saw it. Crazy! (Crazy how fast it happened, not crazy that Jeff knew I would love it - he has great taste in houses)

And the last few weeks have moved at lightning speed. Our town home is getting packed up. We've done inspections, appraisals, etc. on the new house. And we had a couple call interested in buying (instead of renting!) our town home!! Blessings!!

Sometimes things just fall into place it seems. We really hope it all works out. Even though we know this is a good move for our family our hearts are breaking to leave Spanish Fork. Breaking. I can't tell you how many tears have been shed just thinking about leaving this community we have become such a part of. Oh how we'll miss it! 

As we move on to a new adventure we plan to keep those memories and people we hold so dear close to us (you aren't getting rid of us so easily!) and meet some new great people along the way.
