Sold again...maybe

Who knows anymore. Russ said he's not going to relax until closing. Anyway, we had 3 showings Fri evening & got an offer Sat. It was for $900 under asking which we thought was good. We told them about the flood plain & everything while they were here & what do they do?!? They send a contract through saying it's dependent on the flood plain. WTH! Why would you send a contract through saying that when you already KNOW it's in the flood plain. Good grief, are people really this ignorant? ANYWAY, our realtor just put in the contract that the buyers will have to satisfy that on their own. In other words get a survey or whatever needs to be done to satisfy themselves about the flood plain since we had all talked about it already. While I was on the phone w/our realtor she also said another offer was going to be coming through so we'll see what that one says. We're just hoping to close soon so that we can choose the things that are going to be in our new house.

ARGH!!!!

The people backed out at the last minute because of the flood plain. Isn't that the way it always goes. We're hoping that they'll still be interested if we can get out of the flood plain. Our realtor wasn't real positive either. She said "I'd be suprised if anyone would buy in the flood plain". WTH! A lot of really nice houses around here are in the flood plain & haven't had any problem selling. Anyway, the realtor said she believes she can get us out of the flood plain. So, I'm pretty disapointed, but I've just got to keep trusting that God will provide.

WE SOLD OUR HOUSE!!!

Guys, this is such a God thing! We put our house on the market two days ago & had a contract on it last night. We have been worrying all day though because one of the clauses in the contract was that it couldn't be in a flood plain. Well, we are. But, after many stressful, worrisome hours today, our realtor called and said it's not an issue with them & we're going in tonight to sign the contracts!!!! I KNOW it was a God thing because I don't believe it would have happened this quickly if it wasn't. Thank you all so much for all the prayers, we have certainly felt them!!!

We found a house!!

Well, we went to look at a house today. It is new construction & I really want a brand new house so I got Russ to go out & look at it. It's a nice house, but we REALLY liked the house next to it. LOL This one is still under construction (should be done in 3 mths). It's between 2700 & 3000 sq ft (the realtor wasn't sure). It's on 1 acre & also has a basement. We are so excited!! I think we're going to put a contract on it Mon. It's so much bigger than our house now. There's only going to be about 10 houses in the whole neighborhood which will really be nice. We were really wanting to get off of our busy street & this street is a dead end so it shouldn't get too much traffic. Please pray that everything works out for us to get this house. Here's some pics:

Moving!!

Sorry it's been so long since my last post. Well, we have decided to sell our house. We had a realtor come out on Thurs night & now we've just got to sign the papers. We're really hoping we can find a house in the same area, but it's getting so expensive to find a house in this area that we're not sure we can. Jess is already enrolled in pre-school & I've committed to being the Publicity Leader in MOPS so I really don't want to move too far away. Russ is looking further south but that might be too far for me. LOL Please keep us in your prayers during this stressful time!
