As One Door Closes.....

Another door opens.  Luckily that is my parents' door until we can get into our new house.  Yep that's right, everyone seems to give a little chuckle when we tell them, but Erin, me, and the two boys have moved in to my parents' house.  Lets go back a bit and explain;  Erin and I officially decided back in the first part of January to take on the new challenge as a family and move to Missouri.  Well as you know we are both teachers, so moving right now is not an option because we have jobs here and our new jobs will not begin until August.  No big deal right, well 2 days after we made the decision a friend called about the house.  They knew a couple that had been looking and thought our house would be perfect for them.  Apparently it is and we had a contract on it the following week.  Now those of you thinking about a calendar realize this is now the middle of January.  The couple agreed to let use stay until the end of March.  So now we are out of our home and packed in boxes for 2 months to finish out the school year.  Dad and Mom have been great though and we have our own little apartment area upstairs.  Mom is sharing the cooking duties with me, which I love.  The boys are loving all of the extra attention they get at Grandpa and Grandma's.

It was difficult for me to walk back through the house the final time.  I have so many wonderful memories in it from growing up with my grandparents, to bringing my babies home to it.  I worried about how Lukas would handle the move, but he seems to be on cloud nine getting to play with all the toys here everyday.  It was a wonderful home for four years and the first home Erin and I bought; but as mentioned earlier this door has closed and we look forward to making a new home in Missouri.
