Surgery on Friday

Well I guess it's about time I announce some big news that will be happening this week.  In the midst of the craziness of packing up our house and moving to a new state in 9 days, I am getting my thyroid taken out this Friday.  It's a very routine surgery, and something that will make my life a lot easier in the long run....BUT none-the-less it is my first surgery and pretty nerve wracking to say the least.  We also have the world's best caretaker coming in town tomorrow (Thursday) to help with Emery while Kyle is at the hospital with me.  Can't wait to see my momma!

If you remember, could you please pray for me Friday morning?  I would appreciate it more than you know!  Thank you!

Making progress!

We've made so much progress on our house this past week.  The idea of moving is truly an undeniable reality now with how bare our house is.  I've packed up everything from the basement and 1st floors, plus all the artwork from the entire house.  All that's left to pack are the upstairs bedrooms!

We have officially found a rental property in Charlotte that we'll live in until we've settled on a house to buy... yeah we won't be homeless!  Now is the hard part of organizing everything into "final home" or "rental home" piles!

While I've been packing, Kyle has been doing the last minute repairs for the inspection amendment.  Saturday and Sunday were very long days for him, spent up in the attic covered in insulation.  But it's checked off the list now, so we can focus on packing together!  Here is Emery helping give Daddy instructions on what to do...

We've also spent the last week enjoying living walking distance from the square and getting together with friends almost every night.  We are excited about moving back to NC, but sure are going to miss our life in Marietta.  

Tomorrow night, our friends Chris & Kathleen are hosting a going away party for us which we are really excited to have a night spent with friends and family.  So sweet of them!

And that's about everything that's going on here.  Hope y'all are having great weeks!

SOLD!

Woah, did I really go a week without posting? Unfortunately, I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of that this month, but I do have a great reason!

It is with extreme excitement that we can announce our house has officially SOLD! I know I mentioned a couple weeks ago that we were under contract but still needed the inspection, appraisal and financing to go through. Well, by the grace of God everything went smoothly passing all those deadlines and we can finally say the word "SOLD"! 

We close on our house at the end of this month, and will be moving back to North Carolina as Kyle has been approved to start working from Charlotte come October 1st!  It has been a wonderful 5 1/2 years spent in Marietta and we are beyond blessed by all of our friends and family who have helped us call this place "home".

So the official countdown is on... 22 days.  Oh my word, 22 days.  Now please excuse me, I have to start packing!
