House Update

It's getting real.  Really real.

We found a house.  I knew it was the one.  We had narrowed it down to 3, but the other two just could not compare.  This is our home.  We will be closing at our new home at 9524 Hempel Cove Blvd in Windermere on August 29.  I cannot believe it.

Now, we work to get our house ready to sell.  I have been working around the clock.  Nick walked through our house and recommended we do a few things, some minor, some major.  Major: we need to resurface our pool, new carpet, new shower door.  Minor: plant some new plants out front, declutter, put lava rocks and a fence in the little nook area outside.

I am pretty proud of the decluttering.  As luck (or God, I really think) would have it, Larry and Neva will be gone for exactly the same time we need to be showing the house before the closing.  So, the thought is, we will temporarily move into their house so that our house can remain show-ready.  We are working on it.

Looks like we are moving

It is getting real!  I just hope that our house sells quickly.  Several houses in the neighborhood have just been sitting for weeks, months at a time.  I am worried.  God's got it, though.  I know He does!
