Before its too late

I wanted to finish showing you the work we did to our current house before we move. Like I have said before, when we bought this house it was a 2 bedroom, 1 bath and is now a 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath.  We started all of the work after we had lived in the house for a year.

This is what the back of our house looked like before we did the addition. Our master was on the far left, the sunroom with the row of windows was in the middle, and the back door that led straight into the kitchen on the right. 


They ripped off the old brick and then just basically built the addition around the house. Which was good since we lived in the house during this whole process.


Then they did the framing and you can still see that row of windows was still there. After they installed the windows and doors they knocked out that rear wall and the only thing that separated us from all of the work was a sheet of plastic.


This is what the back of our house currently looks like. Well actually this picture was taken during the summer so everything is nice and green. That is our master wing on the left and the two french doors that lead to our den. Then our back door on the far right that leads into a small mud room area with a half bath and a laundry closet. 


You can't see it from this photo, but we also built a double carport in the back corner which has been wonderful. Well wonderful if Ryan doesn't have all of his hunting stuff in it.
We have put a lot of work into this house and love it. To say that we are going to be sad to leave it is an understatement, but we're looking forward to making changes on our new home.

Amazingly, we already have a contract on our old house without ever putting it on the market. We went to Church last Sunday, saw a neighbor and told him we were going to move. He knew somebody that wanted to look at it and the house was sold later that day. It was crazy...  really unexpected, fast and crazy. I had been praying about this move a lot and obviously God is trying to tell me something.

I know that the family who bought the house is going to really enjoy it and that makes me feel better about leaving.
