We're Still Here!

Hey all! We are still kicking around...just life craziness has gotten in the way of blogging! I also haven't blogged because I haven't taken any pictures in forever! Blog posts need pictures, don't you think?

So remember last summer when we worked like mad people to renovate our house in order to get it on the market to sell? Well, unfortunately the market tanked and a huge engineer inspection was done on our complex, the combination of the two them prompted us to wait to list. I'm thankful we waited too, our neighbors have been on the market since August and still haven't sold.

So we waited.

Then, after Christmas, we decided to give it a shot anyways, so we listed two weeks ago, and believe it or not, we sold in less then a week! The final subjects were removed on Saturday, and we will be officially homeless May 1st. Yikes!

We have a plan to start looking at what is currently on the market (detached homes) and if nothing suits our needs, we will rent something while continuing to look for the perfect house. It's hard for me to be patient, I don't like change very much, and not knowing where we will be in the next few months is a little overwhelming for me. The end result will be worth it though, and I must keep that in mind! I'm also a bit torn because I have an emotional attachment to this townhouse, it was our first real home together (I absolutely cannot count all the horrific rentals we have lived in along the way!). Owen doesn't remember any place but this, and I hope that once he figures out he won't be able to run outside and play hockey with his friends at any given moment that he'll be okay with that.

Anyways, that's where we are right now. We are going to visit 5 houses this week...I don't love any of them (from the outside at least) yet, but hopefully something will come up.

In knitting news, I have TWO FO's to show...just need to sew some buttons on. Can you believe it! I finished both Shalom and the Central Park Hoodie. I'm in shock. I will get the buttons sewn on today, and hopefully the weather will co-operate for a photo shoot this weekend.

Thanks for listening as I ramble on, there will be photo's in the next post, I promise...which hopefully won't take me a month to do!
