It's official! We closed on our house today, and what a relief that was. You hear horror stories of a buyer losing his job the day of the closing, and not being able to go through with the purchase. And when they were a little late showing up for the closing, well, I tried not to imagine the worst.
They were a really cute, newlywed couple and seemed so enchanted with our house and thoroughly excited to be moving in. We asked them a little about how they picked out our house (I'm not opposed to a little flattery!) and they said they'd looked at about 90 and just stumbled into our open house by chance. Well, it was no mistake and we are still thanking the Lord that this all happened so quickly and easily.
For the past month, I've been tallying up a list in my head of little house quirks/issues that "aren't my problem anymore," especially when I've felt sad about leaving. But I didn't want to post them until the deal was done, because what if the sellers saw them and changed their minds?! Now even I'm a little nervous to write them, maybe because I just can't quite believe we really sold it?!
So stay tuned, maybe I'll gather up the courage to type them out later this week!

ReplyDeleteThinking of you "nestled" in your new space. Days are ticking by. Praying as you work to believe and make decisions, moving forward. Together.
Our crowd is well. Feeling the swell. Delighted to welcome Advent and consider His entry. When Jesus arrived, he was not born into a cushy nursery, but God provided and the Wise carried gifts from a great distance. Believing/receiving His magnificient provision for our babies. Let's try to call before Christmas.
With love,
