Movin' on UP....to Charlotte







It is official; we live in Charlotte now. On Labor Day weekend, we packed up a Uhaul and drove up to our rented townhouse in South Charlotte, near Ballantyne. Nana and Pop came up to help unload (after loading the night before!) and help entertain JR while we hunted for some small space furniture at Ikea. Once we got back, even JR lended a hand in putting together our new couch!




The week after we moved, we received word that we had a buyer for our house! woohoo! After negotiations, we have agreed to a price, have survived the termite inspection and home inspection (punch list to come tomorrow) and are awaiting word from the buyer's appraiser tomorrow. It is bittersweet to sell our sweet, cute house that we love so much, but the buyer is a single mom who LOVES the house and will be an awesome homeowner. She is excited, and that has made the sting of selling a bit more bearable. If all goes well, we will sell our house by mid-October.

JR started Omni Montessori today and had a super day! Now, we have to finalize our decision of which nanny to choose, and hope that the candidate doesn't back out at the last minute--this has happened to us once already, and we would really like to avoid a disruption in his schedule and life.


I start work on Monday, September 19th at Omni and could not be more excited. Staying at home has been nice, but I really need a challenge and purpose (not to mention the $$!). Can't wait to make money for my family by making money and fundraising for the school. I have a lot to learn about the community and am really blessed to have this opportunity to do it!
