Our house is for sale... finally

We have been considering putting our house up for sale for the last several years.  Today we finally did it.  There is a sign in our yard and the house is ready, well almost.  We have a couple of finishing touches to complete before our first open house on Saturday.

I love the way our house looks, we got new carpet, granite counter tops and de-cluttered the house.  It is so relaxing walking into a perfectly clean house.  The challenging part is keeping the house clean with three kids.  We took most of the toys to storage to help keep everything clean.  I tend to be a perfectionist so I want to walk behind the kids and clean every fingerprint and straighten the blankets, but it is not practical.   

In the past we have sold houses very quickly.  I am hoping for the same results at this house.  We love our house and are so sad to leave.  However we have outgrown the space.  Thad and I moved in eight years ago, this was before kids.  We did not have enough furniture to fill the place.  Now we are bursting at the seams.

I am sure another family will love this house as much as we do.  Here is to hoping for a quick sale!
