When I think of leaving our house on sherrill, I get really sad, we have had so many fun times in this place, but at the same time it doesn't make sense to stay anymore.
Reasons to leave:
- we want to start our family eventually and would like to be near my in-laws
- we need to refinance before 5/2010 (less than a year!)
- Chris is tired of commuting and says it is my turn now
- we want to be closer to our church
- Mike and Christie are in that area
- I spent the first night married to my husband in between those walls
- Parties and Celebrations we've had in that house: Chris-a-pooloza, Sara & Robby's engagement party, wedding showers for friends, cook outs, and who could forget SLIP N SLIDE!
- the most random romantic moment in my life when Chris painted the dining room and put out all our beautiful wedding china and crystal and bought me flowers and wine!
- I've celebrated birthdays, engagements, weddings, passing Chris's electrical exam and many other monumental moments.
- the brick wall in the back yard that was a wedding present from my in-laws
- over 200 bulbs that we planted in the back yard
- that I am 5 min from work
- that Sara lives only 10 minutes away
- that i am close to the junior league headquarters and events and chi omega stuff
- and the list could go on and on....
Tomorrow should bring our first offer on the house since it has been on the market. Our realitor has tried to prepare us for a low ball offer. I have no clue what number they are going to come up with. I don't know if they are going to offer on 1 propriety or both. All I know is that Chris and I feel that it is time to move and we are ready to take on the next phase of our life and see where it leads us. As long as we are together that is all that matters. Here is a picture from last night at Chevy's wedding of us!

The location in your photo looks familiar ;)!
I loved your house on sherill! I am sure you are going to miss it, but just think, you will be moving on to do bigger and better things in your next house. Good luck on your selling and buying adventure!
That is definitely a hard decision to make. It's bittersweet to leave a place you love so much. The slip and slide comment was funny, b/c that's what we did at my 30th b-day party--long after I was too old for it!
