We are moving. . .

Kind of out of the blue, but we decided a few weeks ago that it would be nice to be closer to Emma's school (and eventually Bryan's school) and my work. We found a couple homes that peaked out interest and decided to put our house on the market and give it a go. Well, we had an awesome offer on the house within a day of it being on the market and very motivated buyer who wanted to close ASAP. So we've spent the past two weeks scrambling around for a house...after a dead end attempt to negotiate on one house we finally gave it up and started to discuss buying a lot to build on- only problem is there are maybe 4 open residential lots in the zip code we were looking in. So what's the next best thing...buy a tiny home built in 1926 on a half acre lot and add on! CRAZY, yes I know, but that's what we've decided to do. It's a charming, almost 100 year old home in the Oak Hill neighborhood (close to UTA) and it's TINY!! But the plan is the start the addition as soon as we move in so we will be doubling and eventually tripling the size in the next year. We've quickly become fans of the "This Old House" magazine and it will definitely be an adventure but we're pretty excited about the journey!! Pics to come!!
