We have a signed CONTRACT!
Thank you so much for praying for us. God has blown our minds with the details of His provision for our house to sell. On Friday we had a conference call with our lender and much to our surprise we were able to accept the offer (which was about 6,000 less than we thought we needed). Because our builder is contributing so much to our closing cost, there is enough to buy down the interest rate which put our house payment where we needed it to be. We spent all of Friday night and Saturday praying, processing and making sure we had all the details right and God clearly told us to sign the contract. So, we did!!

We get to determine our closing date so today we're looking into moving costs, and seeing what is realistic physically and financially. There is that extra cost of principal and interest if you move on a day other than the last of the month, so we're trying to figure all of that out, too. We're either moving April 30th or mid-May.

We're on Spring Break. Perfect timing, huh? As I shared last week, we're going to have some local fun, (no the kids haven't slept in the van yet :->) clean out our attics and start collecting and packing boxes.

I am going to try to blog this week about little and big God-moments we've had along the way that lead us to this final decision. I can't wait to have this story to share with our new daughter/daughters because it's her/them coming into our family that brought us to this new place in His plans for us.

Thanks SO much for your part in all of it - your PRAYERS and encouragement!!!!

Renee,
I am so excited. I did not have any doubts it would work. I beleive I know which house you are moving to, I think we looked at it when it was under construction to get ideas for ours. I can not wait to see if it is that one. You all deserve every bit of the blessings you are stepping into.
