House Update

I thought I'd get everyone up to date on our house situation. We finished the sale of our house in Aberdeen in March. We were so grateful for such a sweet first house and we have so many treasured memories there. Two weeks later we found the house that we would like to make our home. It's considered a "short sale" and it's been a bit of a tricky situation. We entered our offer to the owners and two banks that hold their mortgages, it was accepted by all three parties (which is great) and now the three parties are in negotiations about what to do with the money from the sale and the rest of the money that is owed (which is not so great). We heard that in these situations once the negotiations are complete the banks want to close in about a week (which is super-great). So we wait....again. I've begun packing and preparing for a quick move.

The house is wonderful, however it does need some cosmetic help before we can move in. So we're dreaming about colours and carpets. I am very ready to go home and make a safe place for my family. God has been so good to us, providing everything that we have needed, we are so grateful! Please pray with us that the sale of this house would be concluded and that we could finally finish our move to Ohio. We appreciate all your support as we continue our adventure. We'd love to have you to our home....you're all welcome!
