House Stuff

This whole entire house situation of buying and selling has just gone way to smoothly. I keep waiting for a 'hiccup' but there isn't any. Chris and I feel so blessed right now to be in the position we are. We didn't ever think we'd have a house like the one we have bought. It's nothing extravagant but it's super nice and cozy and *just right* for us!

We listed our house officially at 9am on Wednesday morning and it was sold before the day was over. PRAISE THE LORD!!! That is just not happening in this city right now. Our realtor was a little shocked. Clearly, he doesn't understand the power of prayer ;)

So, we will be moving out of our current home before July 6th when we will pass the keys over to another family so that they can begin making their memories here.

I have mixed emotions. I'm happy to leave, dont' get me wrong!! I just have so many fantastic memories here. I'm so thankful that the memories are in mind and don't get left behind.

We will be moving in with some great, and very generous, friends until our new home is ready. They have a fantastic house that is laid out great. They've allowed other families to live with them in this situation before so they know what they are offering....and we are grateful!

We've almost wrapped up the picking/choosing/deciding etc that comes with building a house. WOW...it's fun and super overwhelming at the same time!! I'll be glad when it's over and we start to see it all coming together. I'm tired of dreaming of paint and carpet....how boring!
