Well, It happened!!!
All the documents are signed and we will have officially sold our house!
Now, to be totally honest, there are a number of mixed feelings involved here.
Excitement-because our house sold and we can move forward!
Thankfulness-that in the current housing market our house sold at all!
Nostalgia-it was our very first home and it was so nice taking ownership in it and truly making it our own. We really loved that house!
Jealousy-that the new owners get to live in OUR house and enjoy our yard and patio that Kiely spent hours working on along with all the other little improvements...built-in microwave, custom closets, pull down ladder and light in attic, fence in the front yard....and many other things. Aahhhh!
However, on the brighter side we will have absolutely NO Debt whatsoever. So, in Kiely's words "Our entire economy could come crashing down, and it wouldn't effect us a bit!" Yes, a bit melodramatic, I know! : ) We are pretty excited about it though! We've taken and are now facilitating a Financial series called Financial Peace University. It's completely altered our views on managing our money and have given us a few new goals...and some adequate motivation for doing so. "Live like no-one else, so LATER, you can live like no-one else."
To be honest, it's a bit challenging to choose to "live like no-one else" (i.e. no car payments, no credit cards, no debt) Which usually means living in a smaller house than most people our age, driving older cars than our friends and having to explain to people "Why?" on this great green earth we don't borrow money?" What a concept!
All in all though, we are excited to be moving on and may have found the perfect little rental for our "live like no-one else." motto. I'll keep you updated once we know for sure. And hopefully get organized enough that I can post some pictures of our life these days (i.e. our three adorable boys). Until then, many blessings.
Bounding, bumping, & laughing through life!

Oh Congrats!!! Yes...I would not want to be selling a house in this market...no fun!
Our church has done a couple of different Financial Peace University classes, and although we have not taken them ourselves...we've heard nothing but good and amazing things about it! That's exciting for you guys!
Hey, there is nothing wrong with a good ol' 10++ year old car and NO car payments :) We MUCH prefer it...then you don't have to worry about dinging your car, or the kids leaving their "mark" on the interior :) Glad you guys got the house sold! Ours is on the market right now, not too fun but worth it I guess :)
Hey! Did you get to keep your washer/dryer or what?! :-) So glad it all worked out!! Love you friends!!!
