We have had some exciting things happen for us in the last few weeks! We hesitated to "talk" about it, as we didn't want to jinx anything until we knew it was official...So let me catch you up!
1. About 3 weeks ago we got an offer on our townhome! We had to counter back and forth a few times...that is so stressful!! It is a done deal, and they take possession of our home on May 2nd.
2. Yes, I said "May 2nd!!" I was freaking out, too, thinking about finding a place to move into that quick. The stars have aligned, and we were able to find a great place after only 2 days of looking. We will be moving to Shakopee on May 2nd :) We are buying a detached townhome in a family friendly neighbor with a pool and park. It really couldn't be better for us at this time. The detached let's us have all four walls to ourselves, so we don't have to worry about noise...not that we are loud ;)
3. We went on vacation to Marco Island, Florida last week, and we all had a blast! Sean spent the entire time in the pool or ocean swimming, going down the slide, jumping off the side, diving for rings, playing with his torpedo, finding cool shells, and making new friends. The babes LOVED the water! They floated around in their boats, splashing, laughing, and having fun. Graham and I were busy the entire time and had a blast! We all crashed early every night, as that sun and heat took a lot out of us! The flights were good, we saw some dolphins, starfish, and conc shells, and we got over our fear of hotel floors... ;) We made some new friends, and wouldn't you know they are from Mankato!! Talk about a small world!
4. Now, we are back, and I am lining up our move, planning out my strategy/schedule, making lots of phone calls, and everything else that needs to be done on a regular basis :)
5. It is going to be an extremely busy month for us, and we feel so blessed that it is working out. Graham will have to stay up here for an addition 6 weeks to finish up. There is a local hotel, The Edgewater, that provides rooms to college students on a long term basis for a discounted price. It will be worth it for him to have the space to study and relax. It also allows for us to come up and visit him whenever we want. Fun place for the kids, too!
Enjoy our pictures! Wish I could've taken more, but believe it or not, my hands were full the entire time!
