adventures in real estate

So...

...after hours of discussion, debating how much our house is worth in this particular market, and the value of a bird in the hand...

...after a very long night in which Beloved wanted to "sleep on it" but in which neither one of us got much actual sleep...

...after a few choruses sung in my head of, "The More You Love Someone, the More You Want to Kill Them"... (a gem of a song from the Broadway show Avenue Q)

...and after a WHOLE LOT of prayer...


...we signed the offer this morning. It's a little less than we really wanted, but it's enough to help us move on. It will be official in 10 days, after their inspection (about which we're fairly confident, having bought the house only two years ago after a thorough inspection then).

Thank you for your prayers! You know, if I never have to sell another house again, I'll be delighted. But for now, it's looking good.

Oh, Praise God!

Thank you, Jesus.

Phew.

I pray you feel good about the decision you've made if not immediately then soon!
