Busy Days Worthwhile: Our First House turned into a Home

We were excited about the new house and feared the possibility of having two house payments. Our Home of 6 years went up for Sale By Owner and what a Blessing with three little ones and the first trimester of the fourth I only had to show the Home one day and it SOLD. We closed one Day before we closed on the Bank property. With the contingencies of the buyer wanting immediate occupancy. The foreclosure was not by any means " Move in Ready" , but that did not stop us. We moved into the basement on the day we closed. The first Item we bought from Lowes was a Laundry Tub set. That became my kitchen sink. The washer and dryer off craigslist was my counter and the microwave, grill, and crock pot were my stove. Needless to say Todd ( my husband) felt the push to get working, but it was spring and he was busy with Equine so the first two months were planning
