It's been a while since I posted and I am needing to catch up!
First, the big news - we bought a new house! We have been wanting to move to a more "walkable" area and really experience Madison for quite some time. Since we had such a hard first of the year, we thought we could use a change.....and this is a big one! We bought a 1928 craftsman bungalow a block from the lake and near some awesome restaurants. I can't wait to move into this newly restored home and keep up what the current owners have done. It is an amazing place and I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to live there.
Our beautiful new home. |
We couldn't be more excited to move in just a few short weeks! We were a little nervous about selling our current home but - it sold within a week! Not too shabby :) thanks for your help, Leslie the Realtor - you did an awesome job!
Bernie liked going on frequent outings during showings...
went to the "dog wash" during a showing one day |
I have to admit - I am a little sad to move out of the house we have lived in for the past 8 years.... Our first home is full of memories with family, friends, and Bernie.:) I am going to have to take those memories with me and enjoy an amazing new home to make memories in as well!

This weekend was my 31st birthday. I love having a birthday near a holiday weekend. We had such a great time and also got a lot of packing done.
I have to admit that 31 is looking up! We had such a great weekend full of grilled meats by Kyle, golf, good friends, delicious food, fun cocktails, stand up paddle boarding, driving by our new house multiple times so I can gawk at it, and a 30 mile bike ride! The only thing missing was my family and I always miss them during days like this - but I will see them very soon, too!
Whew! I'm exhausted!! :-)
The bike ride included a downtown exploration and a ride by our house. Seemed like a good idea at the time but it really was a long way!
About 15 miles in....Great view, though! |
Golf on the 4th of July was also a great time. We had a good game of 9 holes and I hope to get back on the course soon....mostly because I need a LOT more practice :)
Looking forward to my lessons next week - I was a little rusty... |
Congratulations! It is a charming house indeed. I hope you have fun making this house into your home in the coming years. I'm glad you've made your transactions smoothly. You can also acquire the services of a real estate lawyer for transactions such as this one, along with a realtor of your choice.
