2014 was a year of change! Our family moved. Chris' parents moved. My parents were settled into their barndominium while their house was being built. Chris' brother & his family moved. Chris' sister & her family moved.
And oh to help get all of those houses ready to sell was so much work! And to sell them was so much work! But oh how nice it is to be settled into our new houses and new routines. (Except my parents, cause their house is still in the build process!)
January - The year began with us camping out at Mom & Dad's. We bought our camper as both a way to be able to stay at Mom & Dad's during the house building process (theirs) and as a means to explore the outdoors for the kids (get off those electronic devices).

The rest of January we spent packing and decluttering our house to put it on the market. This is not for the faint of heart. If you've lived in one house for 10 years, you accumulate a lot of stuff. We had many runs to Goodwill and to good friends giving away items.
At this point in the process we had a lot with nothing on it. However, we had visited the show homes and other homes in the build process so that we could get an idea on design choices.

February - Both Chris & I traveled in February. He went up to Arlington to help his dad prepare for another house sale - Momma Dot's house. Her home sale was probably the hardest for everyone as there were so many good memories wrapped up in that house. I traveled to Austin to attend my cousin's baby shower and got a chance to see my niece and nephew and check out their new house building process.

Both the kids got to play Upward basketball with friends and had a blast. Cameron played in a mini-golf tournament representing the school and fell further in love with the game.

They capped the month off right with a Daddy/Daughter Night at the church, where Cameron was able to be a waiter.
March - March is when everything started to rock and roll! For Spring Break we packed up and took the kids to Dinosaur Valley State Park. Our house went on the market while we were out exploring nature and by the time we got back we had 4 offers!

Lots of progress was made on the news house and at this point Chris started going up every week to check on it. I was only going every other week so it all seemed amazing to me!

Of course March always means baseball for our house and this year was no different. It was bittersweet as it would be our last season with NASA Little League and because part way through the season Cameron decided he was not going to play when we moved. He wanted to dedicate his free time to playing golf!

Since I'm trying to get a whole year updated in the blog, I'm going to do it over a few posts. I think through March is a good start for now!
