For Sale

The listing papers have been signed and the for sale sign stuck in the yard. We are officially throwing our hats into the uncertain real estate market and trying to sell our house.

We love our house. When we bought it, it was in need of major updating. Good bones but awful face! Okay, the siding/shape of the house was cute but the yard had ill planned landscaping and the inside had just survived the 80's country blue and peach. (Nevermind that we purchased it in the 90's.)

We have updated every room. We've done plumbing and wallpaper and flooring on our own, for the very first time. We've called my dad lots, asking for advice. We've waited for our kids in this house. We've spent most of our married lives in this house.

Our listing is finally up on the website and the sign is in the yard, both things that are kind of hard to see. But we're choosing to believe God has a great house for us in our new location, just a few miles down the road but closer to work and church and school. It's one of those let go of something sure to gain something better. So if you know someone looking for a house, send an email my way. I'll hook you up! (Or if you just want a link to photos, I can do that too.)
