Sold!

Praise the Lord!! They accepted our counter-offer! So, we have a home inspection on Monday morning and plan to close on Sept 22. Yaaaaaaaaayyyyy!!!!!!!!!!

Its driving me crazy that I can't be here before or during the home inspection(the kids and I will be in TN). I know Trace can handle everything and make things look great, but I have a need to oversee. He can handle all better than I ever could. As if I can do any repairs or anything! Its dumb, I know.

Please pray that everything goes smoothly all the way to closing! Thank you for all your prayers so far!

We Got an Offer!!

Well, the folks came last night and stayed an hour! So, we were encouraged. And just now, they called us with an offer. We will meet with our agent in the morning to look at it.

Its very exciting, but I still can't let myself get too excited. I have to bring myself back to reality!

Please pray that we can come to an agreement that is good for everyone and that the process will go smoothly.

Thanks for your prayers! We'll keep you posted!

House Update

Well, prayers must be working! One couple that looked at our house on Sat is still interested. Their agent called us tonight and talked to Trace for awhile to get the scoop on our home. Then, she called our agent and schedule a time to come back tomorrow for another look! So, Please be praying Tuesday at 5:30pm they are coming back! Pray that they will love it and God will move them to buy it if He so desires. Pray for us, too, that we won't get too excited and disappointed if it doesn't work out.

Thanks friends! Oh, and me and the kids need a place to go while they are looking...uh um...I'm just saying

Rainy Day

I'm loving the rain today. Even though I had to leave my house for two hours with the kiddos because we had two different appointments to see house!! Yippee! Bring it on! We rode around for awhile trying to decide what to do. If it weren't raining, we'd go to the park or swim, but it was just messy today! We ended up going to Chic-Fil-A to eat and play. It was so nice, to let them play in a soundproof room where I could see them having fun. I could sit and enjoy a quiet lunch by myself and wave at them periodically. My only regret is I should have brought a magazine! Then, we all had IceDream cones! Yum!

After that, we tried to go to the Moody library, but in true Moody fashion, it was closed on Saturday! So, we went to the church library and had just as much fun. And they could be louder than a normal library, since we were all alone in the building!

It was a fun afternoon after a stressful morning of cleaning and preparing for showings!

Bonus!

The last couple of days have had some fun surprises- but I've decided to start in reverse order-

Tomorrow we have TWO different house showings!!! Please pray that one of those will be the one who can't live without our house!

Today, I went to Food World for a good deal! I had a coupon for $25 gift card if you transfer a prescription. I needed a refill anyway, so I went there to transfer. Got my gift card and got me $25 in free groceries! Love it as the world's most frugal grocery shopper! (Once at Aldi I bought 2 weeks worth of groceries for $49)

Last night we had the Sharps over, minus Chris. It was lots of fun, spontaneously done, which I like. We decided to do it at like 4:30 and Crissy even brought me a Hazelnut Breve (my favorite)from Starbucks! The kids played hard while we chatted and played on the computer. It was fun times! We love spontaneous get togethers, so if you're feeling froggy, come on over! We'll feed ya and have lots of fun!

Well, gotta go clean...
