All the pictures are hung, furniture arranged and we are officially settled. It's taken nine months, but man, this feels like home. So why not put the house on the market?!!!?? Crazy, I know, but that's what we're doing. Trust me, I don't
fully understand why we're doing this either. I love our house, it really is beautiful, but it's come to our attention that there are some issues.
Biggest problem is that we don't have a yard. I thought this would be a compromise we could make given the swimming pool. That was BEFORE I learned it's way too cold to swim in the winter. Thank you, Mr. Realtor, for telling us that when we went back and forth a thousand times and ultimately decided, eh, no big deal, we'll just swim year round.
This has proven to be a problem for the dog too. Actually, not the dog, but rather the dog's mom who is SO SICK of taking said dog on walks when she needs to do her thang! I just need a fenced yard so that I can throw both my kids and dog outside. I think we may be going from one extreme to the other on this one, because now I want a REALLY big yard. Like a half acre. Picture me on one of those riding lawn mowers...that would be awesome!

Financially this sounds crazy, but after running the numbers we're not making a bad decision here. First, there's been a little bit of appreciation in our area over the last year which will contribute to paying the realtors' commissions. Plus, I'm looking at it as though we moved to FL and rented for a year to figure out the lay of the land. Rent is expensive and offers no tax benefits what-so-ever so I don't regret having bought right out of the gate. The only thing I'm out is my time, which was A LOT, given my love for interior design. But that's fun for me so I'm not worried about it one bit.
Fingers crossed we sell our home quickly because this whole having the house ready for showings with two small kids and a dog sucks! Bye bye, Stone Cross Cir. Thanks for treating us so well. Hope you all like this little photo gallery of the house. I'm really proud of it. Enjoy!
