The for sale sign in the yard

Nick and I moved to our home in Franklin in small truckloads in the middle of the night back in December of 2008. This house has been a wonderful starter home for us, but alas it will soon be time for us to pack up and move to our next duty station. 

Nick will pick orders this September while deployed. He will report to his next duty station almost immediately after returning home from deployment during the summer of 2015. We have made the decision to put the house on the market earlier rather than later in hopes that it sells, allowing Tucker and me the freedom to move with Nick wherever the Navy may send him.

Depending on when the house sells, Tucker and I will move to Las Vegas temporarily to live with my mom until Nick returns home. If by some lucky chance the house sells before Nick deploys, we will rent a small apartment locally until his deployment begins. Regardless of either situation we will remain in the area until mid-late August. 

This is quite overwhelming for me as I feel I have made this area my home. I will refrain from getting too weepy, but this area truly has been my home for the past 5+ years and I know I will miss it. 

Anyone want to place bets on how fast my "Gossip Girl" neighbor starts talking?
