We had 5 showings on our house today! To match that, we are expecting to have five sets of applications submitted on our house for 5 different groups of parties interested in renting the property by the end of tomorrow. This means that we will have renters in and that we will be out by the middle of April at the latest.
In addition, we received our counteroffer on the house we plan to purchase this evening, and we are going out to meet the builder tomorrow to finalize an agreement (it is all dependent on the yard work that we want done, and so we are meeting to figure all of that out). We hope to close sometime between April 1 and April 15th.
What an unbelievable blessing and amazing journey this last year has been, and I am so grateful that we are finally seeing some real progress in our attempts at moving.
Barney and I could only possibly be more excited about all of this if we were not so completely exhausted. We had a lot of major decisions to make today, and we made all of them as a team with rational discussions and honest weighing of each other's opinions. We were able to make compromises and come to agreements on every single issue without any tension or anger sparking between us. I think that may have been the major accomplishment on both of our parts today, and it was all the more amazing because the stress levels have such a potential to act as fuel to start major issues in times like these. The major decisions that we are making are only beginning at this point--now we have to work on actually moving, finding new childcare arrangements, and so much more. My prayer at this point is to continue to be able to work together as partners to come up with mutually agreeable decisions that are in the best interest of our whole family.
