The house that we were looking at earlier in the week and made the offer on is now in escrow! The bank didn’t go for our 60-day escrow, but they did agree to a 45-degree escrow.
This would give us about 5 weeks between the new house and having to move out of this house. Probably a good thing with everything going on.
I am very excited to move forward and get a HOME. We still have to go through the inspection process and everything, so I’m not getting too excited just yet…just in case.
The only bad thing that is upsetting is that the kids will no longer be in Vanderburg’s school zone. Even though we are just two miles or so away, we are still zoned for another elementary school. We thought about getting Ethan a voucher so he can finish up his elementary school at Vanderburg and let Abby go to the new school, but we then found out that they even may be different middle schools so we would rather Ethan do his 5th grade with kids he will be going to middle school with (and may possibly be neighbors with).
After everything Vanderburg did for our family, I feel like I am letting them down in a way. Stupid, I know. But they just offered to make World Rare Disease Day events a yearly thing, and now here we are moving out of the school.
But then I remind myself that we will finally have a home, have roots, and maybe finally feel settled. That is priceless.
Great news. Congrats.
moving to a new school in the middle of the year is better than the beginning…then you are the only new kid instead of being one of many and not getting the best attention that you need 🙂
