I should have posted this much earlier, but time has gotten away from me and I'm just now getting around to it. Anyway...we are just a few short days away from the big move. Finding a new home turned out to be more of a challenge than we originally bargained for, but it seems that everything is falling into place.
To refresh, we put our first home on the market in January, and by on the market, I mean I posted it on Facebook. That was on a Wednesday and we were under contract by that Saturday. Luckily, our buyer didn't want to move right away so we set a closing date for the beginning of May. This allowed us plenty of time to find a new home, pack, and move.
We started our search in the Milford and Wakefield area, but that posed to be an issue when we went out to look. We saw lots of split level homes and homes that were just too far of a drive for both Riley and I. We also looked in the city of Riley, but there just wasn't anything available with the kind of square footage that we were wanting.
Riley initially said that he didn't want to live in Clay Center, but that is where we have found and purchased our new home. He will be super close to work and I will have half the drive that I currently have now. It is right outside of town on a couple acres and we are anxious to get in it. The process of buying this home hasn't been nearly as easy as it was buying our first -- we had to do lots of negotiating back and forth and it even got to the point where Riley was saying that we might have to walk away. Saying this to a pregnant woman with no other alternatives for a place to live wasn't pleasant, but luckily the sellers accepted our terms and we are set to move very soon -- Thursday actually!
