Movin' on Up!

We have been talking about putting our house on the market since about October and moving to a neighborhood that has more of a community with parks and a pool. If you remember we bought land about a year ago to build our dream home on but now that we have the sugar bear our feelings have changed and we are wanting to move a little closer to Rockwall. Also, we had a harder time keeping up with our lawn and everything this summer. We had tossed around the idea of buying a pre-exisitng home in the neighborhood we have decided on but unless the perfect house came along we felt like we would be moving into a house that we were going to have to change a lot of things to really like it. We did that with this house and it was neat to do with it what we wanted but we really aren't looking to do the same thing. We sort of want to move in and enjoy ourselves not move in and work! HA! So we put our house on the market today and also signed a contigency to build a house. A lot of stuff is still up in the air and they don't start building until you have a contract on your house so we still have a long way to go but we are excited (and a little nervous) all at the same time. Here is the house we put on the market today. It is actually a little bitter sweet. We have loved this house as it as the first house we bought and where we brought Bailey home. We have enjoyed the peace and quiet of the country life but mamas tired of driving and daddys tired of mowin' ha! Not to mention we need more space.
Here was our house when we first moved in 4 years ago. I can hardly remember it looking like that and I must say I think it has come a long way! :)
Here is the house we hope to build! We love everything about it. It has a lot more room than our current house and definelty room to grow incase Bailey has a sister or brother. If you want to see more pics of the model you can visit here. Anyway, hopefully everything will work out and it will be ours. :)
