Moving

Our recent trip to Iowa City, the week before Easter, had an additional motive besides just seeing family.  We needed to buy a new house, because we are moving back to the Iowa City area this summer. We spent 7 years in Iowa City before moving to Sioux Falls.  We love Sioux Falls and love having my family so close.  However, Paul loves being able to teach residents and the University of Iowa kinda wanted him back.  :)  So... we made the bittersweet decision to return to Iowa.  We were successful in buying a house while in Iowa City so we were very thankful for that.  Our house in Sioux Falls went on the market one week after Jace was born.  We had lots of traffic the first few weeks (multiple showings each day) and a few showings a week for the following 7 weeks or so.  We were beginning to wonder if it would sell before we moved.  Luckily, we were able to seal the deal this morning!  It's sold!  We close on our new house in early June and will close on our Sioux Falls house a week later.  Perfect timing really!  Paul will have to return to Sioux Falls to finish working the month of June but at least we have a house to move our belongings to...and...we won't have two morgages, which we are beyond thankful for!
