As I'm going back and trying to fill in the gaps in my blog, I cannot forget the "Little House". Our family had a very chaotic few months while Daddy transitioned into his new job with Volkswagen in Chattanooga, TN. I'm not complaining, as we were truly blessed during this time, and every phase of the move was "right on time". I'm a planner, though, and this was just something that couldn't be planned. We needed to sell our house in AL, find a house in TN within 3 months, and get the kids transitioned into a new school, not to mention, I needed to backfill my spot at Solutia, without leaving them high and dry.
Well, it all happened. We were able to get a lease purchase agreement on our home without a realtor. This saved us thousands and we are confident that the sale of the house will be finalized within the lease terms. However, the buyers wanted the house right away. Who were we to complain? Houses had been languishing on the market for months. So, I was able to find a nice guy who agreed to rent the boys and I a house in Saks on a month to month basis. The movers came and packed up the majority of our stuff and the boys and I packed up the air mattresses and moved to the rental.
Graham had the most difficult time leaving home. He dubbed the rental the "Little House" and for a few weeks would cry every time I would tell him that we were headed there. However, he got used to the house and I thought he was going to have a hard time leaving that as well. Drastic change is hard on a two-year-old, but they adapt quickly.
So, once we were in the Little House, Jason quickly found a home that had sellers who were in a position to vacate quickly. We closed on the home and the movers delivered our stuff one day before our free storage ended. Miracle I tell you!
