We sold our condo last month and have agreed to turn over the keys on Sunday, February 23rd, so the new owner can take possession the following day. We had a deposit on another place and a contract signed up in Scottsdale, but Sonal asked if we couldn’t move closer to her and the girls, so I found this loft at Union Hills and Cave Creek Road in Phoenix.

Caroline’s initial response when I told her of the place was, “Absolutely NOT!” So I took photos and drew out a floor plan, and she softened a bit. After bringing her by, she started realizing that we were going to be in an apartment with nobody living above us, below us, or side-to-side, and we only shared one common wall that had two full bathrooms dividing the living spaces; she started to warm up even more. We signed the contract.

We have about two weeks to slowly drag stuff out of our condo and over here to the loft. Another stage in our life gets underway.
