Moving Updates

Thanks for all the well wishes and congrats on selling our house. We were not expecting it to sell so quickly but are so glad it did! We can be neat but having to be near perfect all the time is not easy! I pretty much took all the school stuff out of the house and either put it in a cabinet or the attic or just anywhere I could! Some of it has been pulled back out for now though. We did some serious staging and I think it paid off.

If all goes well we will be moving on November 24th. We have scheduled back to back closings on this house and the one we hope to buy. Our inspection was this morning (on the house we are selling) and I am praying that nothing major was found. It's an older home so there is always something to repair or update but we tried to take good care of it and keep it maintained.

The home we are buying is only about 10 minutes from where we live now. It was only built 5 years ago and is in a neighborhood with a few other families from church. We think that is really neat and look forward to having such great neighbors. Rachel can't wait to have her own room and I am excited about having a school room. Mary Evelyn is ready to explore the woods behind the house and Jason is just praising God that it's all going so smoothly so far! Poor Betsie is pretty clueless and is in for a shock. We'll have to make sure she gets lots of loving until she is settled again.

I haven't had the heart to get packing yet. We had a closing fall through a few years back and didn't know until we showed up for the closing and with everything on the moving truck. Once I know the inspections went well I will get started though. Can't put it off forever! For now I am just thankful that we have it under contact and that things are progressing.

I'll post pictures after we move.
