I left you hanging if you read my last post and then rewarded you with no blogs for a few months...... I am here to update! We did sell that house we lived in. Well our most excellent realtor did. More on her later. But it made for a rough October as we packed up our lives quickly for a November 7th closing on our family home which had plans for an extensive renovation in 2009. A renovation that was not to be. We gladly sold it and moved into the Margot project. The bank was ok with extending our construction loan for a while and we thought it would be a nice holiday there enjoying the new space I created.
But more surprises were in store. The day we moved in, an offer was presented on Margot!!! We worked for 3 weeks on negotiating and going through inspection period. The month of November was stressful and we worked through the purchase of the home and quickly deciding where our things would go and were WE would live. YIKES! So, on November 29th, exactly 3 weeks after moving in, we moved out and into a rental home. We also put a contract on a home to buy and renovate. It was a process! And was a good reward to our amazing realtor to have 3 closings from one client I suppose :) We have found a new home to renovate and developed plans to do so. It is all coming together, or so I think for now......
Oh, and did I forget it was Christmas, the birth of my Savior? NO!! We took a few days to celebrate and had a a great holiday centered around family and good times. Carter and Finn were fascinated with Santa and our Elf, Piffin. A longer post on that soon with some pictures. Promise! On a very serious note, we had so much to be thankful for in 2008 as we were clearly blessed with the sale of two homes and a choice on how to proceed in this rocky real estate market. If you are feeling weak in faith, I can sit you down over a cup of coffee to really tell you my story. It is a true testament to giving up control. It was apparently a lesson that God wanted me to re-learn. For that I am so grateful!
Stay tuned for more adventures as we progress into 2009.
