home update

We signed a lease to purchase agreement with a family on our house and they are moving in this coming weekend! Yipee!!!!!! We feel really good about it and of course hope everything goes as planned. The contract is set for them to lease and then purchase the home in November. We have prayed and fasted quite a bit and have felt really good about the decision made, so we cross our fingers that it all goes well and as planned! We know it has some risk involved, but what else are we to do!?!! Our poor home has been empty since the 1st of Oct.!!! The family moving in love the area and location of the house, not to mention the fact that their best friends are in the ward. We are really happy right now, still a little uncomfortable until November comes and the home is actually purchased, but overall, walking around these past few days with smiles!
We are still planning on staying with Chris' parents until November so we can save and take a little time to get back on our feet. They have been so great to let us take over atleast 80% of their home. They have been such a huge blessing to us.
Chris has done an amazing job. He listed it as a lease to purchase 2 weeks ago and wasn't quite expecting the overwhelming responses! He handled everything beautifully and did a great job screening and doing all of the paper work. Thanks Honey!!!
NOW IT"S TIME TO CROSS OUR FINGERS TILL NOVEMBER!!!
