At Home with the Hodges: 15th Rental Truck

15th Rental Truck

We moved again!

We sold our beautiful house on Silver Creek Way...

You are probably wondering, what are our plans now? Well, there is a newer subdivision in our ward boundary and the lots are all 1 acre or more. Ryan and I found a lot that would suit our family well and the price was great for 1 acre. So we bought the lot back in October with the idea that we would build a new house someday.

I am going to miss my kitchen! I loved it! It was so open and big.

We are going to miss that house, and mostly our neighbors and the neighborhood. We love the neighborhood, but the house layout was just not working for us. We could have lived there a bit longer than we did and been ok, but the market is so good right now in Twin that we thought it would be best to sell now and make a profit on our house, than to lose money on it. So that's what we decided to do. We sold it, "For Sale by Owner" not thinking it would sale too fast, but within 5 months it sold! We are very happy it did and sold for what we were asking, which was such a blessing! The family that bought it are really good friends with the Clarks, the family that lives across the street, who we always pulled practical jokes on one another. We will miss the Clarks! And all of our great ward members that we lived so close to. We are renting a duplex and it's just down the street and around the corner from our old house, so we aren't far, but it's still not ever going to be the same.

This being our 15th move since being married, we were able to pack up our house and garage and clean the entire house in 3 days and be moved in and be unpacked in this place in 3 days. So 6 days wasn't too bad, and we rested on the 7th ;). This move really did me in though. I realized that I am so done with moving!!!

We want to start building by Oct/Nov of this year so the house should be done by May/June next year. So hopefully the house we plan to build will be our house that we live in forever, because I am done with packing, unpacking, cleaning and moving! I don't plan on renting one more moving truck, EVER after that! :)

Here's our "home" for the next year and a half, while we get our plans ready for the building process...
