Good News...


The day I thought would never arrive has finally come! The house was shown yesterday to some buyers who had 2 criteria...they needed to be in a house by the end of the month and they wanted a good fireplace. Luckily, Landon and I are flexible on moving dates (the earlier the better in my opinion) and we have a great fireplace. We have "staked out" in the park for every showing...timing how long people are in the duplex and watching their body language as they leave. The buyers spent over an hour in our 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 1300 square foot duplex. That's a lot of time in a little space! I thought for sure they were going to make an offer, but they told their realtor that although they loved the duplex, they thought the area was a little shady (and they are right). I spent the evening moping and pouting. As Landon and I were praying last night, we prayed specifically for hope and patience in the situation.

Today, we received a call from our realtor at around 2:30pm...she said that we had received an offer! After a couple of counters, the deal was done and the contract was signed. SOLD! I'm so excited that I can't sleep (hence why I'm writing a blog post on a Friday night).

Tomorrow we will looking at a house that we've had our eye on, along with a few others. Hopefully, if all goes well, we will have a contract on another house in the next few days. My parents have also been generous enough to open up their home to us in the time between closings.

We feel so blessed and provided for. God is so good and he has answered our prayer. :)
