Closing Time

Tomorrow is our closing date for our house here in Michigan and next Monday, March 26th, will be our closing on our new home in Cincinnati.

I'm sad to be saying goodbye to our home here, but happy to finally be at the end of this long process and looking forward to starting a new chapter for our family in Cincinnati. To back track a little, we did end up with Plan B from my last post. The potential major problems turned out to be one minor problem that will be fixed soon - something about flashing with the deck to prevent water from coming into the basement. I am very happy with Plan B - as one dear friend said, the B must be for better :)

Everything has been moving ahead steadily. We have mentally been deciding where everything will go and what we can bring and what we can leave behind. I have become intimate friends with Craigslist in an attempt to sell some of the things we won't need anymore. The biggest hurdle seems to be finding a new home for our pool table, so if you know anyone interested PLEASE let me know!

We have our movers scheduled to arrive here on April 4th and unload in Cincinnati the morning of April 6th. We aren't able to take possession of our house until April 5th so we will have one night in Michigan on the floor and one night in Cincinnati on the floor, it should be interesting with the kids! At least we have the Pack n' Play for Rylan to sleep in, I can't imagine trying to get her to sleep on the floor!

And here it is, the moment you've all been waiting for....Pictures of  Plan B!

So that's we have so far. Obviously these are pictures from the previous owners, when we get our stuff in and more settled I'm sure I'll add more. We are very excited and can't wait to be there!
