Ask, and ye shall receive.....

So, on September 10th, we put our house on the market. We fully expected to not sell it until April or May and honestly in this market, that was wishful thinking. Well, 3 weeks to the day (October 1st), we are under contract and if all goes smoothly, we will close at the end of the month. WHAT? Yep, we have sold our house. I. am. not. ready. I thought I had months to clean out the garage, get a perk test and survey on our land where we will be building, work with the bank on a loan.....and on and on. Now, I am busy, busy. But I think I have impressed my husband. In just 3 days, I have a perk test scheduled, land survey scheduled, rented a place, rented some storage, moved 3 small loads, and a meeting with a potential builder on the books. Not to mention a lady on hold to draw the plans.....I don't waste time! :)
And did I mention this was all while I was planning and hosting Landen's 1st birthday party? Yep, it's been a little crazy! I'll get some pics from the party up soon!

I have not read your blog for a couple weeks, wow what a change. Have you always wanted to build? Did the scorpions send you packing, lol!! We have thought about building, not sure about next time we move. It would be nice to design just what we want but I am so visual I like to see if and feel it. We will see. I can't wait to look at your new home. You are blessed it sold so fast, it took us over a year to sell in Greenwood. I thought it never would sell and we broke even and that was before the crazyness of 07 really hit. Right now my neighborhood here is selling for 70,000 less per house then 7yrs ago, ouch!! Hope your doing well. Tell Little Landon Happy Birthday!!

Hey girl! Yes, lots has changed! We weren't ran off by the scorpions...LOL! We have decided to build a house that better suits what we need. We weren't in any hurry, I was totally leaving the timing up to God. But, he's ready for us to build I guess! So, here we go!
