Bye Home Sweet Home


Well, our season here in B'ham is coming to a close, and it is so great to have our house sold! We tried the "for sale by owner" thing for one month then I got nervous thinking about two mortgages with a new baby, so we decided to call our agent who helped us find this house four years ago. Within three weeks of listing it, we had not one, but two offers on the same day which is very helpful with negotiating - such a blessing! We officially closed last Friday and are now renters until May 9th - we have a ton of packing to do in a little under three weeks, but it will get done, right? After that, Jacob will be living in his sweet cousins' basement for 3 weeks until the end of May to finish out his final year at UAB. Charles and I will be gypsies for that time, but it will be nice to visit friends and families for a few weeks before settling in Charleston in June. We are in the midst of buying a house in Charleston, but please pray that everything follows through - we still have to work through inspection and closing, but I think God has the perfect house waiting for us.

Hey!
Congrats on selling your house! That is fabulous in this market--God definitely wants you in Charleston. We can't wait for you guys to get here--please let me know if you need anything! I think Critter said that the house you are looking at is off of 61--that isn't too far from us--fun! Talk to you soon!
