Sold, sold sold!!



It's done, we've sold the house. It has been an extremely long process with these buyers but we've finally closed the deal (I've thought this once or twice in the last few weeks with these guys, but this time is for real...I hope!). They've asked for alot and we've given alot, and frankly it's taken several cuts at our pride because of course we think our house is worth much more, but in the end we feel very blessed to have this taken off our hands. We know it could so easily have sat on the market for months and months as many other wonderful houses are doing right now. What a relief! We wil be closing on June 20th, that means we only have one more month!! eeks! lots to do, friends to hang out with, boxes to pack, a house to buy....at least I no longer have to be incessantly cleaning my house for showings. I want to fully enjoy this short bit of milwaukee summer while we're here.


It was pretty perfect timing for the finalizing of our house because tomorrow Sadie and I are going to accompany Ryan to Denver while he works this week and we're going to do some serious house hunting. Who knows, we may even put an offer on this week if we find THE ONE!


The past few weeks have been fun having Ryan around a little more since he's been working from home. It's taken some getting used to having him be here.....but not "available". Sadie loves peaking in at him throughout the day to say hi and then run away squealing hoping he'll follow. some of Sadie's favorite things these days are


  • trying on every pair of shoes she has throughout the day

  • playing outside ALL day long - "outsi, outsi, outsi, outsi,......" is a very frequent phrase in our house and she'll keep repeating it until we give in.

  • collecting rocks

  • wrestling with dad

  • dancing

  • testing new words

  • giggling

  • taking bubble baths

Her little personality gets funnier all the time now that she can use her words more to get what she wants. Shes got her mom's fire and dad's contagious laugh and a whole lot of her very own Sadie pizzaz.

I can NOT even belive it! We are meant to stay in our house until we're 50, I know it.

Good news, bad news...guess you're really going to leave! We'll miss you! Please let me watch Sadie one of the days. We have a big yard and spend lots of time outside...she'd love it. I'm working on prepping a garden, she can pick all the rocks she would like!

BBOOOO! We really are excited for you guys but man we are going to miss you! I was even thinking about how I'm in better shape to go running with you this summer but I guess I'll just have to wake up David! We're excited (and jealous) to see how the house hunting went!
