Tomorrow...

For months we have been talking about putting our house on the market. We have a lovely home now, and this week marked 7 years that we've been here. In those 7 years we've accumulated a lot of things, most recently tons and tons of baby clothes, toys and other random baby gear. Each day we feel like we are slowly growing out of this home as we seem to have no storage space for anything. Our small attic is full, and all our closets are jam-packed with things. We also hope to have another baby soon, and there is definitely not room for a 4th person. Yes, our starter home of 1845 sq feet, 3 beds and 2 baths is just not large enough to support our growing family.

Tomorrow is the day we put our house on the market. Its scary, especially in this economy. I worry that our house won't sell, or we won't get near what we are asking for it. We haven't started officially looking for a new house yet because we want to have a contract on this house before we actively pursue something. Its the smartest thing for us to do because we do not want to have 2 mortgages. And this way, if the house doesn't sell, or I get laid off (God forbid!) we can take the house off the market and stay put. We really have nothing to lose so we are going for it. Our realtor is a good friend of ours and he thinks we will be lucky. In our entire neighborhood there is not one 1-story home available for sale. He said many small families are looking for a 1-story and they are at a premium right now. So keep your fingers crossed that it won't take too long.

This week has been crazy as we were working to de-clutter and get the house ready. And poor Jordyn has a double ear infection so we've been dealing with that on top of everything else. I am exhausted. Tomorrow our realtor and photographer are coming to take photos of the house to include with the listing. I hope they turn out OK. Wish is luck!
