Moving Out

What's that you say? Yes, the Thornburgs are moving!

You may remember some time back (this post), that Andrew got a promotion.  I cannot believe that was a year and half ago! So he was promoted to manage the entire state of Indiana.  Our supremely northern location has not been conducive to the new total area that he has to cover.  He has been gone a lot.  It wasn't so bad when it was just me. (Who wants to be around a pregnant broad anyway?) But when Tommy was born, it got a lot harder.  He got a lot busier (good for business) and needed to be away more (bad for family).  So we decided we needed to move.  But I needed to find a job first.  Shortly after we decided to move, a county office opened up in Delphi.  I applied for it and got the job officially last Friday.  Very exciting times for the Thornburgs!

We listed the house on the market a month ago when I applied because it is prime house hunting season.
That's what all that red door painting was about.

So this is what the house looked like when we listed it...
This is what it looks like a month later...
Jeez! Where did the house go? Leaftastic! But the flowers look amazing now.  Everything is so lush and green.
But luckily we're moving now and not this fall when we would have to deal with THIS.

We are very sad to leave this house.  We've done soooooo much work to it.  If you haven't been reading this blog very long, you need to review these posts or click on the House tag when you see it.  I was NOT kidding when I said we have done lots of work!

Want to see what our house looked like the day of inspection before we bought it?
That was in April or May! Good ol' great white north.  I won't miss that about this area!

Here are some other pictures from the day of inspection.  I'm so glad our moms were smart enough to bring cameras that day.  We weren't!

This was the living room before we moved in...

Just when we got the house exactly how we want it, we decide to move.  So sad.  But we are looking forward to moving closer to Purdue again.  That will be fun. Tommy will be able to attend his first football and basketball games.  I have a feeling he will love them! :)

So... anyone want to buy a house in South Bend????

  1. Wow, seeing it all at once you guys have done a lot of work!! I wish I would have done a recap like this for our house. I feel the same way though, just when we got it how we liked it, we moved. And our house has never looked better, typical.
    Congrats on your new job too, so where are you looking to be?
