We're staying put...

or at least for now anyway. The offer on our house fell through...after a long saga that literally lasted for like 4 days. The house is still on the market, but we are seriously debating whether or not we are going to leave it on till the first time home buyer's $8,000 tax credit deal is done or take it off. The other day I heard it was only 100 more days till it was over...which when you are buying doesn't seem that long, but when you are selling, it's a whole other story. There are just so many factors right now, that we are literally having to weigh ALL the options. So, right now, we are staying put...no apartment life living for this girl. We'll see what God has in store though and where He leads us.

On the move!

We sold our house! After about 8 weeks of it being on the market, countless #'s of showings and having to scramble around making sure it looked nice (which with 3 kids is not fun), 1 offer that fell through, it is SOLD! The kicker is we have to be out by August 31! Now don't get me wrong, I am not complaining by any means, it's just quick. Granted, the more and more I think about it, that weekend before then is actually good timing since come Sept. 1 Sloan will be busy with the final 2 tax deadlines of the year. Anytime after that, I think it would be me, a moving truck, 3 girls, and who knows who else to help and that would be a sight! So again, God has shown me that His timing is perfect...it may be quick, but it's perfect. So we are busy packing and trying to figure out what stuff to put in storage and what stuff to put in an apartment...yes, we are going to be living in some cramped quarters soon, but I think we can survive 6 months of that. (Ask me later though when all the girls are going crazy and I'm pulling my hair out due to the temporary loss of about 500-600 square feet)! We are leaning towards building a house, which I'm sure could be a blog in and of itself, so we shall see...trying to get everything figured out and nailed down before we decide for sure. Gotta run and pack some more boxes while Madeline is napping.
