So excited!

We will be moving this spring!
My mother in law, who was selling her house, took it off the market. She wants us to rent it from her instead!
She called us a few days ago and told us we could start moving in our things right now if we wanted.
This weekend she's bringing over empty boxes. There's so much I want to get rid of before we move again. We have too much...stuff. I have baby clothes sitting in bins. Then there's the clothes my husband and I can not fit into anymore. I have 3 closets to go through and empty as much as possible. I can't decide if I want to have a garage sale or if I want to post everything on Freecycle .
Her house will be the biggest house I've ever lived in. When my husband and I married we rented a one bedroom house. It got a little cramped when Kaeden was born. We were supposed to move the spring following Kades birth but we were slammed with unexpected bills. So we stayed in the little house. Xavier was born that June and we went from being cramped to downright squished in the little house. This past spring we moved into our current apartment. We now have 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Quite luxorious compared to the living conditions we had before. But it's still on the smallish side.
The new house we'll be moving into is also 3 bedrooms with 2 baths but it's much more spacious. The kitchen is huge. There's a deck in the backyard. I'm also happy about the silliest thing this house has...a room for the washer and dryer! Right now our w/d is in the kitchen. I hate that.

Now when I have birthday parties for the boys there's enough room for visitors. I won't feel as though everyone is sitting on top of each other. The house is all on one floor so Xavier will be able to run in and out of his bedroom without me worrying about stairs. The neighborhood is quiet and right next to a school. I'll be able to take the boys for walks again when the weather is warm. There's also a park nearby! I wish so much that we could move right now! I honestly hate living in a city.

The boys are doing great today. Yesterday Xavier was so ill. He was barely awake for 3 hours the entire day. Today he's running around and back to his old self.
Kade hasn't been as cranky. I think he senses my excitement. I told him we were moving back to our old small town. Its as though he knew what I was talking about because he started squealing with delight.
I think my family will be so much more happy. I had hoped that karma would come our way with some good fortune.

*does a happy dance*
