We FINALLY sold our house!!!! Granted, in the real estate world having your house on the market for 3 1/2 months really isn't all that long - BUT - it's an eternity when you have the house you want to buy tauntingly close to being yours and all waiting on an offer that you have no control over. We are so... Excited! Nervous! Scared! In denial! AAAAAAAACK!! Now comes the scary part, turning it all into a reality.
We have contracts on both houses, and closing dates for both. If all goes well, we will {hopefully} be in our new house by the end of the month! Insane!! The couple who is buying our house is {well, I've only actually met the girl and her mom but they were} stinkin' CUTE! We are SO excited for them to buy our house. It's been a GREAT starter home for us and we're so glad to be able to pass it on to them. It's beyond wonderful to know how jazzed they are to call our house their home and to know that it will be loved after we say goodbye to it. You could see how happy the girl was when she came by for the inspection and that made me so so glad we accepted their offer. :O)
This house has been a lifesaver for us. It's affordable, it's cozy, it's comfortable, it's safe. Moving is definitely exciting, but it's also like going swimming without floaties for the first time. You KNOW you can do it, but you're still petrified to let go of that safe ledge and take the plunge. Once you swim without the comfort of those floaties, you can't really go back. You've grown up and it's a little daunting to imagine yourself in such a large pool, trusting that the lifeguards will keep you safe as long as you do your best to keep on swimming. {I just re-read that and it's a pretty darn good analogy!!} LOL We KNOW this is the right thing for us to do, and are DEFINITELY giddy for it... but now that it's becoming a reality it's just a little scary to realize what a HUGE change it will be. We're leaving our comfort zone and trusting Heavenly Father to guide us when we let go of that ledge and take that plunge. Scary is honestly the best word for it.
It's all good. We're ready. We're excited! And I'm sure that once we get over the initial shock of how much our monthly payments are going to be we'll start the jumping up and down :O)
