BIG NEWS

We are moving to Omaha, Nebraska!  We found out in May that Paul would most likely be getting a promotion at work.  We had no idea where the job would take us until July I believe.  Paul interviewed in late August, got the job and now we will close on our house in Nebraska on November 21st and we are trying to sell our home here in Georgia.



Paul's new job title is Regional Service Manager and it's a great next step in his career.  I am very proud of him for all his hard work.  He officially started his job September 22nd, but is able to start it here in Atlanta.  His boss Mike has been wonderful and won't make him be in Nebraska until we close on our home.  We have a great moving package so the move will be less stressful which is wonderful.

I can't believe we are moving again.  When we first heard this was a possibility I cried and cried.  I am not ready to leave my support system here. I have my practice established, I have wonderful friends, I love Hayden's preschool, heck our embryos are here!!!  Hayden is also having a hard time with it, she loves her friends, her primary class, her preschool, this is the only home Hayden really remembers.  She keeps telling me how much she loves our home and doesn't want to leave it.

We put our house on the market on September 24th and no offers yet.  Selling a house is hard!  It feels like rejection each time someone passes up on the home you put so much effort into making nice!  It's also so hard to keep it in "showing" condition all the time, not to mention getting kicked out for periods of time!  But I'm hopeful that the right family comes along soon.


Last week, Paul, Reid and I made the week long trip to Omaha to look for a home.  Our realtor, Nancy was great and helped us so much.  We did find a home after almost losing it.  Because we haven't sold our Georgia home we had to show that we could afford to pay both mortgages in order to put an offer in.  I am so scared that we may have to pay 2 mortgages, but hopeful everything will work out!  We got approved and then we were able to put down an offer on this new home.  We will only be in Nebraska a few years most likely so we wanted to buy a home that we could turn around and sell in a few years.

Paul is so good at getting Reid to sleep when we're not at home!


 Our new home (still under some construction)










It was pretty exciting when we went back the next day and saw the "SOLD" sign!


Randomly enough, Paul's cousin Amy Houser and her family live in Omaha!  She is about 6 years older than Paul so he didn't know her well.  They were kind enough to let us stay with them for half the week and we got to know Amy & Zach and their children: Sebrina, Josh, Mia & Caleb.  They are wonderful people and we are so excited to have family close by!  I don't know what we would have done without them this last week.  They helped watch Reid several afternoons so we could look at more homes, they showed us around the area, and they made us feel less anxious about moving to a foreign place.

Here is Reid with their two girls.  We were at Josh's soccer game and it was freezing, so we went back to the car!  We are in for a rude awakening this winter!
