Our House Is Officially Under Contract

We got some great news over the holidays, our house got an offer and we accepted! It's officially under contract and we could not be more excited. This is the first time going through the home selling process so we are hoping that this will be just as easy as purchasing the home. Fingers crossed everything goes as planned and that we can close on the house early 2017! 

Our move finally feels real. When we listed our house for sale a little over a month ago we had no idea if we would get an offer on it quickly, or if it would take a year to start this process. We're happy that it happened quick because this means I get to start house hunting for our home in Hawaii. 

After lots of going back and forth, the Big Island is at the top of our list and we have our location narrowed down on where we would like to buy a home. Kauai is still on our list. (there's two homes that I'd like to look at when we go to visit). The plan is to go through the selling process with our home, then when that's done we will buy one way tickets and get a short ter rental to explore the two places a little more before putting in an offer on our next house.
