Changes and Stress

Well, it has only been about a month since my last post - about right for me! We have had so much going on - I think this is the most stressed I have been in a long time. In the past 3 weeks we decided to put our house up for sale 2 weeks earlier then planned and bought a new house in the process which we weren't planning on.

Extended version:

We have been planning to list our house for sale in March but due to the tax credit option for buyers we decided to bump up our time frame so officially this week our house is on the market. Needless to say that meant a lot of quick work for us and unfortunately a very busy month for Micah so made it more difficult but we got it done and now we wait and pray for that perfect buyer! We were planning on starting to look March/April for house but we've been looking online now and then just to see what's out there. One day I'm came across a house that I loved and so one Saturday morning packed the kids up while Micah was working and went for a drive to check it out and found out it was just starting to be framed. We never ever considered building so discounted it and then happened to talk to our Realtor and this house came up and so she said let me ask when they plan on having it done and from there within 2 weeks we looked at the model, met with builder and bought the house......craziness. So, we are excited, nervous, stressed and all sorts of emotions. Our planned closed date is May 28th pending our house has sold. I'm due June 5th so will be interesting how this all works out. Micah's paternity leave for a week could become a moving week.

Anyway, that's our news and craziness going on right now. I know so many of you have sold homes but holy cow I never realized all the work to get it ready and to keep in "show" condition especially with little cherubs not understanding "show" condition. I just keep praying for patience throughout this process and that I don't become a mean mommy and try to relax and let them live in their house! Please spring come and melt away the inches and inches of snow so we can play outside!!!!!!!!!!!!
