So as if life wasn't just busy enough, we decided to sell our house. Yep, decided last week to throw our house on the market. The market here in our town is just crazy right now and its a great time to sell but a horrible time to buy. Everything is overpriced. However, wanting to take advantage of interest rates before they creep back up and selling our house for profit, we decided to go for it. I have been praying about it for the last year. Exactly one year ago we signed papers to put our house on the market and then I freaked out about being homeless with 2 infants! Ha! But now it just seemed so right.
Our house officially went on Thursday evening at 5 and we accepted and signed an offer (over our asking price!) Saturday night at 6, after receiving four reasonable offers. I am telling you, its just crazy here.
We currently live in a 1400 square foot house. Is it a good house? Yes. Is it live-able for 2 adults and 2 toddlers? Absolutely. Are we completely out of room and have things stuffed in every corner of this house? You got it.
We need space. Not a lot more space, but space indeed. So, we are now hopeful that everything goes smoothly with the sale and that we will find a place soon. Our current plan is to move out with G&P and move our stuff into storage. We have an offer in on a house currently. On my dream house actually. But money negotiations are not going so well, so unless the Lord has a miracle in store for us, it looks like that deal is not going to work out. And that is ok. Because I have faith that we will end up in the exact house that our little family is supposed to be in. Not to say I won't be disappointed because I am human and I also tend to get my way on most things. ;)
I've said all along, we are not taking a risk, we are taking a leap of faith. Because I do have faith that the Lord has a plan for our family and our new home, although we don't have a clear picture of it yet, I am very excited to see where we end up!
Now I would love to leave you with pictures of my dream house. But seeing as though it is not mine at the moment and probably wont be in this lifetime that might be weird. So, I'll leave you with pictures of our first home. Where we first brought our sweet babies home and watched them take their first steps. It's a bittersweet feeling letting go of the place where so many memories were made. But excited for a new beginning with my little family.
