Moving from your first house...

vid

We have been going back and forth for a couple of months about selling our home and getting a larger one.  We put a ton of time into our house and it is so much a part of us, but we are just out growing it.  We have found a house we like and made an offer today, don't know if they will accept it or not.  Now I am having second thoughts again.  I don't know if it is because I am afraid of making the next step and having bigger payments, more to maintain, and sad about leaving "our" house or if I am having second thoughts for a bigger reason.  Did yall go through this too?

I'm going through it, too!  Your house is so super cute, but you can't really expand in it. Think of having extra room for Paisley Jane and for all the furniture at Angie's house!

I understand being sad.  It is your first home as a family, and that's hard to say goodbye to.

 Is it the same house you were telling me about?

I can understand your feeling, we only live in an apt...so I would LOVE to move (today even, lol).  But, I can see me being sentimentel about our first "home".  Like pp said, just think of the extra room to grow!

I get a little nervous thinking about a bigger payment too, I just want to make sure we aren't going to run out of money!

Good luck!!

I can understand this too.  Think of all that you'll have in a new home and all the memories you'll create in that home too.

I hope it works out, very exciting!!!

Well we will see, we are just sad to leave our house, but we have to sometime!

Just think of how long you will be in a new house!  So many more years of memories

yes, and think how much happier you will be with all that extra room and storage.  I mean your house is SUPER cute and wonderful and Lord knows yall have made it awesome, but you will make the next one a wonderful home that you will be happy in too. (I wish I had a 1/3 of your talent!!!)  I'm sure it's hard.  I've owned 4 homes now so I guess I've gotten over that.  Plus I haven't owned one w/B yet so that will be exciting for us.

Just enjoy it and know that each step is exciting!!!!

God will make happen what is supposed to at the right time

How exciting! Where is the house you have made on offer on?

I understand what you are going through. We have toyed with the idea of moving and go to open houses pretty much every Sunday. There's a house in Cannongate, a new subdivision in Opelika that I LOVE! But at the same time, I wonder,can we afford it? Will I be sad to leave the house we first lived in as newlyweds and brought DS home to?

The house is off of Samford near the Moore's Mill redlight.   We are suppose to know by lunch today.  We lowballed it and didn't expect the guy to really even consider the offer, we think he could get full price or maybe even more, but he is serious about the offer.  I don't think we will counter if he want to, we just don't have to move at this point.  Heather I am glad you understand how I feel!  But I would be even more sad if I had brought my baby home from the hospital to the house.  I get worried about the money thing to, but we have to make that leap sometime. I'll keep yall posted.
