I know it is completely out of the blue, but Tanner and I have decided to list our home for sale. We realized, after meeting with our banker and realtors, that we can get quite an upgrade for just a tiny bit more of a payment (and a chunk of cash for closings, etc.). Interest rates are at their all time low at 4.5%! Because both our credit scores are so high, we will get the lowest possible rates offered. If we had planned to move in the next 1-10 years, now is the time. Even the banker is selling his house simply to upgrade for the same payment. It all has happened very quickly. This is apparently the best time of the year to sell a house, so hopefully it goes quickly. As soon as we accept an offer on our house, we will purchase a different one. We plan to stay in the general CR area, but aren't picky as to specifically where. I think taxes and schools will play a big part in that. We will look for a 4+ bedroom 2+ bath house so that we can grow into it.
If you know anyone who is looking to purchase a 3 bedroom 2 bath house in Marion, send them our way! We are selling it for $142,500. Although this is MUCH lower than we ever hoped to sell it for, it's worth it on the other end- getting a great deal on a bigger house! Our house:
On a completely different note...
Grayson is now 5 months old! This past month he has learned to put everything in his mouth, has started really enjoying his naked time every night, has eaten a variety of veggies and one fruit, has spent a ton of quality time with his daddy and gained yet another cousin. It's clearly been a busy month for him!
Unfortunately he has decided to revert to waking up several times a night again. Last night we were all up from 3-5:45am trying to get him to sleep, and that was after Tanner was up with him from 11-12. We are apparently not supposed to let him "cry it out" because it can aggravate his acid reflux therefore making him truly uncomfortable and in pain, which keeps him from sleeping (hence turning it into a big bad cycle). This sleeping problem will be fixed as soon as we find the store that sells the manual to Grayson Roos. Have you seen it?Grayson's monkey outfit pictures. This outfit is shorts and short sleeves. We had planned for it to fit until his 1st birthday (size 18 mo) however, it already looks like it may not make it!
