House for Sale

It is finally official.  We have the sign out front to prove it.  Andrew and I are selling our first house.

Andrew and I had started talking about it a long time ago.  When I was pregnant with Sawyer, we were trying to come up with a plan that would work for us and three kids in this house.  At first, we were going to move Jackson and Cullen in the same bedroom.  We discussed moving them into Cullen's bedroom because it was bigger.  We discussed moving them both upstairs because the guest room is our biggest room.  We even threw out the idea of sticking all three boys in the large game room just to make it easy.  After careful thought and consideration, we nicked the idea of them sharing a bedroom because of many arduous circumstances.

We went back to the drawing board.  Since Sawyer was going to sleep in our bedroom until he slept through the night, we tabled the discussion for a little while.  As my due date was coming closer, we finally decided to put Sawyer in the upstairs guest room after he started sleeping through the night.  With a plan in mind, I eventually had Sawyer.

The first night we put Sawyer upstairs, Andrew and I agreed it wouldn't work in the long term.  We were still trying to find a solution when we decided the best solution would be moving into a different house.  The floor plan wasn't working for us anymore.

It is bittersweet selling our house.  It was the first house bought together as a married couple and first house to all three of our kids.  It is just time to move on and get enough space for all three boys to live in without killing each other.

Sometimes moving on is the best medicine for everyone.
