Tuesday SOL - 5/26/15 - An Unexpected, but anticipated Phone Call

A week ago last Friday, we received a phone call from our realtor, actually two of them.  We were in Walmart shopping and missed both calls.  When we got into the car to head home, I noticed there were voice mails.  First call, "we want to show your house tomorrow".  No problem.  We have been ready.

Second call, "Good news, we have an offer on your home!  Call me."

Hubby and I looked at each other - OMG - can it be?  Who could it be?  Our thoughts went unsaid for a few minutes while we pondered that life changing phone call.  A quick call to the realtor, arranged a time to talk, still wondering which of the visitors were loving our house.

When our realtor arrived, she said it was a "sight unseen" offer contingent upon a visual by Friday and closing of their current house a week later.   The offer was good, so after sleeping on it, we signed the contract.  Praying all week that they would love the house more in person than on-line.

Last Thursday, the buyers arrived.  Walked around the house.  Talked.  Looked some more.  Talked.  He was all smiles, she had a perplexed look on her face.  Upon leaving, he said his mind was made up, but he would need to do some talking to his wife.  Ummm - didn't leave us with a great feeling.

But... another call came on Friday from our realtor.  THEY SAID YES!  First contingency down, now we wait until this Friday for their closing.  Saying prayers, keeping our fingers crossed AND

Searching for a new home for us!  God has brought us this far, so we'll just keep relying on His Grace.

    Having gone through selling and buying I know how nerve wracking the experience can be. Hope all works out for you. (I'm sure it will.)

    Congratulations! That was pretty quick. Busy days ahead for you, packing and locating a new place. Exciting steps in the journey of life!
    BTW, we did not find the onions until after we had returned home. At least the Gladware contained the smell.

    Wow. It's a big change to move. Congratulations on the selling. It's worse to have it drag on for long. I hope you will find a new loving home soon.

    All sorts of emotions in one day -- Yeah! Oh, no! Really? Yippee! Are you sure? What if? Oh my goodness! Can't it be?

    Ok. Breathe. Take one step at a time. Enjoy what God has in store for you and have fun walking into your new home. Can't wait to see what happens!

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014
