An offer...

Today marks 3 weeks of our home being on the market. Monday evening we received an offer, we countered...and yesterday it was agreed upon. So, today, if everything works out correctly, should mark the 1st day of being in escrow. Sort of. They have to do all their inspections during these first days of the option period....but we are so thrilled to possibly have this worry lessened. It, of course, poses other kinds of hassles/difficulties...like having to find a furnished rental for 2 months until we are finished here. But...we are certainly not complainging. We are hopeful that it will be a mutually beneficial sell for us and the buyers. Although, it goes without saying that I will be very sad to leave our first purchased home...and its so cute and clean and entertaining....I suppose just another stepping stone through our adventures in life. Our cup of blessings is certainly overflowing right now.

Congratulations! Isn't this just a confirmation of all the right choices you are making. We are so happy that things are working out so well. We will of course be very sad to see you go. What a great year 2009 is turning out to be.

congrats! we also sold our house, but I haven't said anything yet since we don't close until Tuesday and we're nervous :) and there are a million other students (best friends included) that are trying to sell, so we're trying not to sound like we're gloating or anything. But I understand the feelings of RELIEF. The weight off your shoulders. And it also feels a little like all the decisions you've made and struggled over up to this point have been worth it. Things are falling into place!! I'm so so happy for you guys!

Shawna:

I can say that our prayers are being answered for your family. I loved your house while I was there visiting. You have taken good care of it and made it even better. Gavin's family also made it marketable. I guess that the bad economy has not even affected you. How are the boys? Do you think they can handle a little sister? (Just teasing)

Love you,
Mother
