the pritchards are moving! jay is always looking at real estate, sending me houses and i am usually telling him to chill out, we don't need to move. but the fact is, it was time. and a couple of weeks ago he sent me one i really wanted to see. we did, we looked, and we put in a contingency offer. kind of a "what the heck and we'll see" move.

well, 24 hours later we had four contracts. our first offer came 15 minutes after we put the house on MLS. it was amazing. i was praying for clear signs and we have had many. it was time for the move. we are excited and definitely need the additional square footage. our new house is in the exact area we wanted and very near a lot of our best friends and church. there is even a neat story about the street. my brothers and i called my grandfathers "bobo" growing up. the street is bob-o-link. :) kinda cool. like a tribute to my dad's dad, nelson link. :)

anyway, we are moving april 2nd. looking forward to a new chapter and a fun beginning for our little family. it will be hard to leave our first house together, the house we came to as newlyweds, the house we remodeled from the inside out, the house we brought our kids home to, a house with many memories and great neighbors we will miss so much. but, it's a new chapter and a new beginning and we are thrilled that this has all come to be.

now i just need to pack... :) more to come! we move on reese's half birthday. can't believe our little gal is almost six months old. it is a big year over here! :)

5 months

reese - a whole month has passed since my last post, and she is another month into her first year. unreal. we celebrated her fifth month with a trip to the hill country with some of our dearest friends. four families, each with two kids, all in one house. it was as crazy as it was fun and we enjoyed every moment. hikes every morning, lots of good food, a couple of game nights, and even a winery (that was happy to let the kids run wild) made the mix of the long weekend. it was a long overdue trip for most all of us and we were all due a weekend away. so relaxing and so fun!

happy five months, sweet reese. we love watching you grow and change every day. literally every single day. you seem to be growing and changing by the moment. and speaking of growing, link's teachers today swore he had grown since last thursday. ;) he is now 42.5 lbs, 3'7" and wearing a size 12 shoe, size 6 shirt and size 5T pants. the kid cannot stop growing!

so much more news on the horizon - part of which, we sold our house in 15 minutes less than two weeks ago. literally 15 minutes on MLS and we had a full price offer. 26 showings and 24 hours later, we had three back up contracts. working on finding and closing the perfect house now, but regardless, looks like the pritchards are moving in less than a month! C-RAZY.

some recent pics of our crazy life!
