Changes seem to abound here lately. We've been contemplating moving for some time now... but it never seemed right. Well, once again, we thought we should move, and this time we actually listed our house on the MLS. Our close friend listed for us (although we even put off that process for a couple of weeks...). She listed Tuesday afternoon, and got her first call that same day, before she even posted pictures.
We ended up showing the house 8 times in 10 days. Luckily for me, my mom was here to help me clean for the first showing, Mark was here for the second, and then we left town for the other 6.
While we were out of town (in St. George), we got our first offer! The house had only been listed for six days! woo woo! Because we had no access to a printer or fax machine, we didn't plan on replying to that offer until we got home.
Well, the night before we came home, we got a second offer! What? In this crazy economy? Wowsuhs... There are homes in our neighborhood that have been listed for several months, and some more than a year. I couldn't believe it. Needless to say, we were able to play the bidding war, and we ended up with slightly more than we wanted!
Wow... we definitely feel so blessed, and like the hand of providence was part of this. Mark and I both hate change, and we're slow to make changes in our life. But after this, we both feel like it was meant to be. We're not sure where we're going or what's next, but hopefully with a lot of prayer, we'll be guided in that too.
So... change is on the horizon. I'm looking forward to seeing what's in store for us next!
