This time it's for real I just feel it...


So we were going to take our house off the market the last day of August. We'll procrastination payed off this time. A couple stopped by the house on the first day of September and of course we hadn't officially taken the house off the market. After looking at the house which was very mess from fall organizing they said they wanted to buy the house. They met with our realtor because they didn't have a realtor they liked. They made an offer. While we were deciding on this offer we had 4 or 5 showings on labor day. One of those showings offered us our asking price and we took it. We are really excited and they are too. We didn't want any backing out so before we made our decision we called the couple and told them all about the house and it's quirks. The couple didn't seem to mind and we started to really see that this offer was solid.
A week or so later we started looking for a home to move to. I called my brother Paul who mentioned a home in his neighborhood for sale. I like what he told me so I made a call. The home was under contract but the buyer was not looking like he would qualify. I continued looking and started reviewing my saved house ad's at KSL.com. I opened up an ad and remembered telling Joe a few months ago when we had the other offer on the house that I had found the home for us. I remembered really feeling something for this home. I looked down at the realtor and it was the same one on the home Paul had suggested. It was the same house in fact. I really got excited and called the Realtor and told him I wanted to come see the house. Joe and I went and saw the house the next day and Joe fell in Love!!! We looked at several other homes that day but we had found our house. We put an offer in that afternoon. We are so excited to move, I got a little nervous after we put our offer in so the next day we went to see another house in the same neighborhood but all I could see was the view of the school across the street and the feeling of being home the first home had for me. It is perfect for us and we are so happy to finally be moving. We feel so blessed, and to think we had given up. Wow, what a miracle!

  1. How exciting for you! It just goes to show that the Lord will provide if you have the faith, even if it's at the 11th (or in your case, the 12th, next day) hour. WAHOOOO!
