House Update

Well........ I decided to let go, and let God, and.........

We got an offer on our house this week! It was much lower than we were anticipating, but we countered at a much more acceptable price, and they accepted! With one catch... they want us to leave our dining room table set for them. REALLY?! I guess if it helps them feel like they are getting a better deal, and they will go through with the sale, fine. But, our dining room furniture?! It was actually Kevin's dining room table set that he had bought in his bachelor days, and it really is a beautiful table, so I think it kinda made him proud that they thought so much of it they wanted it to stay with the house. So, I got online and made sure we could secure the same table again for our new house, and we can. I guess it will be kinda nice to not have to worry about moving it (trying to look on the bright side here!). We'll just buy a new one and have it delivered to the new house...

Speaking of the new house... I think I have mentioned we found a house up there about 3 months ago that we absolutely love. We were just sitting back hoping and praying that no one else would buy it before we could. So, as soon as we found out we had an offer on ours, we called the other agent to put an offer on the Dahlonega house. Well, wouldn't you know, there was another offer on it the SAME MORNING as ours! So, now we are waiting to hear back if we are going to get it or not. Kinda stressful, but so awesome at the same time! We are going up to look at some "back-up" houses tomorrow, just in case our offer doesn't win out.

They are doing the inspection on our house Tuesday morning, and the closing is set for Aug. 27 (less than 5 weeks!). So, keep your fingers crossed and say a little prayer for us that the deal on our house goes to closing, and that we get our Dahlonega house, or find one that's even better!

We'll make sure to update as things unfold! Thanks for the prayers so far!
