House for sale

We put our house on the market back in July.  We got an offer in Nov. but it just wasn't time or God's will for us to sell yet.  We actually were about to take it off the market when we got the call after a showing the week after Christmas.  The lady loves our house.  We had an offical offer the first week of Jan.  She is even paying asking price!  I can hardly believe it!  So we had to really get on the ball of finding our next home.  Originally we wanted either 4 bedrooms or 3 and a study or a formal dining area.  We found a great house in Yukon, made an offer and have an agreed contract.  We just did the inspection on Friday.  There are a few more things that need to be fixed than expected, but will see what happens when we send the repair list to the owner.  One of the great things is the owner no longer lives in the house, so they are pretty motivated and we can start moving our stuff to the garage before we close.  We hope to find out this week what the next step is and if we will come to an agreement and still close on Feb. 11th, 2013.  I have been packing my little heart out.  There is only 2 weekends before we actally start moving.  YIKES!  Good thing I had today off.  I have been throwing away quite a bit of "stuff" that we do not need or putting it in a "donate" or "garage sale" box/bags.  Man do we accumulate a bunch of paperwork!  The boys bring home 2+ papers most days from daycare and then all the junk mail we get...  I am really excited for the next chapter God has in store for us.  Pics to come of the new house!
