This past year has been full of up's and downs but quite the whirlwind! The brought many emotions...some good, some bad, but we made it thought and have so much to look forward to in the upcoming year! So here are the most memorable moments of 2015:
January
We put our house up for sale and had an offer after our first showing and 2 more offers after 3 days on the market. We accepted an offer within 7 days! I definitely felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster from the time we decided to list our home until we actually found our new home!
The weekend that our house went up for sale, was the weekend we took Bryleigh to see Frozen on Ice in Chicago. We had a wonderful time despite the overwhelming emotions I was having that our house was going to sell so quickly.
We also made our way home in one of worst blizzards that Chicago has seen. Dumb idea on my part but I just wanted to be "home" since I knew we only had a little time left in our home.
February
We did lots of packing...
March
We officially closed on our home on March 27 and said good bye to the place we called home for 7 years and brought our 2 babies home to. Thankfully, a wonderful young lady bought our house and we have maintained contact. She even invited us over to see the updates she made to the home...we couldn't have asked for a better buyer!
