officially official.

You guys.

Something really big happened on Friday.

We.
Sold.
Our.
House.

You might remember that we have owned the old house and the farmhouse for the last month.

We went ahead and purchased the farmhouse so our sellers could move along with their lives and were still waiting on our sale to go through.

We knew it was happening, just didn't know when.

And then...last Monday, we got a phone call.

It was happening.

It was time to sign papers and officially sell our house!

This process that started last spring was finally coming to a close.

It was a long-awaited phone call.

A huge relief.

A blessing to finally get rid of the feeling that we were holding our breaths until everything came to a close.
 
We signed Friday after school to finalize the sale.

Earlier that day, on Friday morning, sweet Dylan & Bailey went and signed the papers (how stinking cute are they???) to start making the house we had loved for so long into their own home.

And boy have they started that process!  

They've already painted, torn up carpet, and laid new flooring!

I can't wait to share some of their work over here on the blog in the near future!

When Matthew and I got married, we were 19 & 20.  

We purchased a little starter house in town and worked hard to make it our own and eventually get to the country, where we longed to be.

In 2006, we made that happen by purchasing the house where we have lived for the last 11 years.

It's a joy to see these "kids" who share so much of our story jumping in and making our old house their home.

We are excited for them to finally be through this process, even if they are having to keep Harlee's LeBron James cutout on the wall for a few more weeks until we can get her wall built and move him to his forever home!

Thanks for sticking with us through this process, faithful readers!

Can't wait to share the future of the farmhouse as we start to transform the upstairs with  a few extra walls and a bathroom!

​Coming soon!  ❤️🏡❤️
