Yes, that's right. The Frueh Fortress is moving. Well, it isn't moving, but the Frueh Family is moving. After six years, it's time to move on. We've done all we can for our little house. There is only so much you can do to fix the problems of your house. Cosmetics were easy, but you can't change your neighbors or your neighborhood or the reputation of your town.
We put our house on the market late in October, 2010 and got an offer in less than three weeks. In this market, that is practically unheard of. We closed on our sale on December 30, 2010.
So, where are we moving to? The Raleigh area of North Carolina. We're tired of winters. As most any Minnesotan will tell you, this has been an extremely hard winter too. The cold and snow started early and shows no signs of letting up. While friends back home are complaining of temperature of -20°F, we were sitting in nearly 50° weather. Even though the sale and move happened much quicker than we could have imagined and packing and moving out right after Christmas was extremely challenging, we are so excited to be out of there.
For sentimental reasons, here are some photos that I took for our Realtor for the MLS listing. Kind of like embedding the memory someplace where I can go see them again. I didn't get pictures of Megan's room. She was napping when I took these. I should have gone in and done it as soon as she woke up, but I never got back to it.
Bye bye Brooklyn Park house. There are many things about you that we will miss. Too bad we couldn't have packed you up and moved you with us.
