we're moving in!!

I wrote the following post about two weeks ago, and we closed on our house today.... so here is the story:


So, as many of you know, clark and I have been looking for a new house for over two years now. We had one under contract and we got cold feet, and backed out, then we quit looking for a while because we had Jared. Then we had another one under contract, that all the forces in the universe were against, and that fell through. Needless to say, we had gotten frustrated with the whole process (especially because I know exactly what kind of house i want, a two story, four bedroom house). So anyway, we decided to start asking people if they were wanting to sell their homes to us. You would be surprised some of the answers we got, but at one house, that I particularly liked the outside of..... the people had been talking a half hour before about calling and listing their house that next week! we were so excited. So to make a long story a little shorter, we looked at the house , offered on it (saved all the real estate fees), had it under contract on the 1st of Feb. Then, on the 3rd of Feb. our current house hit the MLS listing at 8:00 in the morning. Two people looked at it that morning, and it was sold by 1:15 for almost our asking price! Clark and I are just thrilled with how nicely this whole thing worked out. To make matters even better people on both ends wanted to close fast, so it looks like this whole thing will be done this month!! The timing is unbelievably perfect, because i have to register sarah for kindergarten this month, and we will be living it the school that i have been wanting her to go too. Anyway, everyone told us when it's meant to be. . . .things will go smooth, and we feel so blessed to have everything working out so well. We are sad to be leaving our house though. It has been the perfect house, we just out grew it. It is hard to believe when we moved in six years ago, it was just Clark and I. We are excited to start organizing everything in our new house.

As a side note our school district has a FREE preschool program that i got sarah enrolled in at the beginning of the month and she loves it! So she goes there 4 days a week for three hours a day. I was glad she got accepted because our school district does all day kindergarten, which i am not thrilled about, but i thought it would be a lot for her to go from being with me all day every day, to being gone every day. Anyway, we have been busy!
