Every year for the last few years, we have toyed with the idea of selling our home. We’d look around on Zillow, find some houses we kinda liked… but then chicken out. The first year, moving was not a good financial decision. Then as the number of kids started to pile up, the thought of moving just intimidated the hell out of us. Like last summer, when we found a house we really liked but I was pregnant with Miss Lorelei and could not muster up the energy to get off the couch much less get a house ready to sell, find a new house, and pack and move 2 toddlers while growing a very grouchy baby. Ugh…just the thought of that makes me need a nap!

This year, though, we bit the bullet. We found an amazing realtor who we love and trust and she has been guiding us on this crazy journey. And boy has it been crazy. So crazy that I just about had a nervous breakdown and Julie had to fly in from Washington to help us. Again.

But more about that later…
