One week ago today Dottie, our real estate agent called and said that a person who looked at our house the day before was going to write a contract on either our house or another one. We had heard several times from her that our house was second on some one's list. I tried not to get too excited. She called later that day and said the guy chose our house. He made an offer and we countered the offer last Wednesday and the guy accepted our counter! What a great answer to many prayers. We were really excited because we had decided on a house that we really liked in the area we really wanted to be in. Dottie called about the house in Summerhall Subdivision and someone had already put a contract on the house. What a major let down after riding on such a high from selling the house.
Back to square one. Allison and I looked at houses in the pouring rain on Thursday and then Bill and I looked at more on Friday. We went back to look at another house in Summerhall that we looked at before and after narrowing our search to that house and one other we were really interested in, we decided to put an offer on the one in Summerhall on Saturday. Dottie called Bill Sunday evening during our H2H meeting and told us the owner accepted our offer......without countering!!! Another amazing answer to prayers! I was so happy that we found out with our friends at H2H. It was nice to share our news with our friends.
We had an inspection on our house today and have scheduled the inspection on the home we plan to buy on Friday. Barring any unforeseen problems we will be closing on our new house on Friday, March 26, 2010.
Needless to say we have had a whirlwind week with very little sleep. Allison is cutting two 2-year molars and is not sleeping well. And Bill and I are waking up in the night and having a hard time going back to sleep. With all the excitement of a new house, when we wake up...we can't go back to sleep easily. Hopefully that will change soon. But in the mean time, we'll just enjoy the excitement of selling our house and buying a new home......and start packing!!!

We will be praying that all the details between now and closing will all go smoothly, and that closing will, too! I am so excited for you guys!!! I love the new house. I can't wait to see the inside of your new one, and I look forward to getting to help you with the move. Thanks for sharing your exciting news with us. It was really neat that you were at H2H when the call came! Love it!
I am so glad that things are going to smoothly. What good timing for the move. The beginning of spring is a nice time to start a new chapter of your lives :) Just think about all those strong guys in our H2H who can help y'all with the move. A few of them also own trucks and trailers you can take advantage of :)
I can't tell you how excited I am for you guys! Or maybe I already have...ha ha! This is such a great step for your family...one I hope we'll be making soon ourselves. :) We're glad to help however we can!
