...to akron, ohio! and very soon. we are planning on moving december 15. it has been totally crazy trying to pack, finish up to-dos on the house, carpet the basement, get the house listed, have a baby, find somewhere to live, and keep it all a secret before matt told his staff - which he was finally able to do today.
matt told his boss a while (he was super supportive) and we went ahead and told our neighbors before the 'for sale' sign went up in the front yard. we got our first offer after two showings and less than a week on the market. but they had a very unreasonable term that was apparently a deal breaker for them and they walked. we have another option that we are currently pursuing. we are really hoping to have the house sold before we leave the state.
the plan is to move into an apartment while we figure out the area and school districts. once we have a feel for the area, we will begin the house hunt (or build). so the packing has been a little more interesting because we have to pack for the apartment and for keeping in storage for 1-2 years until we get into a new house. we have already packed up most of the kids' toys and moved things over to a storage unit here so that we can get the house ready for showings more quickly (and not have the house filled with moving boxes).
i am sure that i will have many more posts on the details of our transition over the next couple of weeks leading up to the big move but at least i have confirmed what many of you have already guessed. i have a few other posts that have been waiting for matt to get everything squared away at work before i could post them so here they come... love.

Thinking about moving, dealing with stomach flu, showing a house, etc. all with 3 kids 3 and under is quite overwhelming. I am very impressed that you are so calm about it. I am also a little amused that you are moving somewhere that you have never seen! I hope it all goes well!
