SOLD!!

That didn't take long! After exactly three weeks to the day, an amazing offer came in on our house! The only catch was that we had to be out of it in exactly 10 days. WOW. So, the last few days have been crazy with packing up our lives into boxes and making plans to move in with the fam. Hopefully we'll find our next home in just a few weeks, but in the mean time we'll have some good quality time with families as the tentative plan is to stay three weeks with Shannon's parents and then several more with my parents (if needed). How great is it to have two sets of loving families to take care of us when needed!

We are just so blessed to have sold our house so quickly and for such a great price in this buyers market. We now have a great opportunity to get a lot of value with the next place we move into. God is good!

Since college, Shannon's fashion sense has slipped a bit...
Actually, tomorrow is Pioneer day for the 2nd graders her school.

On the Market

We've decided it's finally time to put our first little townhouse on the market and find something bigger to move into. Here in Denver (as with much of the rest of the country), the sub prime crunch has forced a lot of people out of the homes they are in to either downsize or file for bankruptcy. That's where I like to step in and take advantage!! Not really, but this is a great time to buy as there is so much inventory out there and the prices are dropping every day. If we are lucky enough to get out of our house at a decent price, we'll be able to upgrade fairly easily....at least that is our thought process.

So, we officially put our house on the market on Monday, but the websites didn't have our house up until Wednesday/Thursday. Some person took a look at our place when it first hit the market on Monday -- I'm thinking it was some savvy investor wanting first dibs on everything that comes out. Anyway, in about 2 hours we'll have our first "real" showing and I need to get out and clear the leaves from my lawn before they get here. Pray for us!
