The Move

So, we sold our house and bought another one...kind of. We were set to sign on both houses March 27, and as a part of our deal with the people from whom we are buying we got early occupancy and started the move March 24th. After Mayflower came and moved all our heavy stuff we began doing our own loads. Not long into that we got a call from our realtor saying there was a problem. Long story short they would not be able to close for another two weeks. We were afraid the deal might fall apart and we were already moved over to a house that is contingent upon selling ours. We have been reassured that everything is going to happen, just later than we thought. We love the new house, but feel a little weird living in a house we do not own...yet. We think we are supposed to close in two days, but no one will tell us for sure, and truth be told they probably have no clue. We have all our stuff out of the old house, but are hesitant to totally organize the new house or hang pictures until we have signed.

Talking to people I have realized that often opposition is in all good things. It was basically a miracle, in my mind, that our house sold for asking price in this economic climate, that the people we bought from were willing to go down on their price and that the interest rates were low right at the perfect time. Our stars did align, so it must have been too easy. I have decided that times are getting tougher, we are nearing the second coming, so opposition is so strong, stronger than before. Our job is to have hope, faith, patience and submission to the will of the Lord (I just really hope the will of the Lord includes closing in two days and that stress out of my life.)

Anyhow, I have been consumed by getting the new house set up and trying to make it home. This is the 7th home we have lived in (not including the month and a half we lived with mom and dad when we first moved to Farmington) in almost nine years of marriage, and it was BY FAR the hardest move ever (and I was not even 7 months pregnant like last time.) I hope not have to do it again any time soon!
