Going to Contract on our House!

Okay! So we have a break even offer on our house and a closing date of 9/12. I am excited but holding my breath a little. We will all celebrate on 9/13...It was funny because we received an offer on the day we were going to put it up for rent. And then we received an offer that was pathetically low. We would have had to spend over a year trying to pay back the money we would have had to spend to sell it. So then we counter offered and went back and forth about 4 x's and now accepted an offer that may leave us with a few hundred dollars if we are lucky. After we accepted the offer we had 5 people who were desperate to come into see the house. And then I was listening to the radio...eureka the market is looking better. Timing is everything. But I am so happy to at least have broken even and am glad to not have to pay for two mortgages, two insurances, two tax bills,etc. So, keep us in your prayers for an excellent closing on 9/12.

The kids are doing very well. They do still have some grieving (especially Ella) but are making remarkable strides in their english and in school. Jared did get in trouble today for SPITTING on another kids on the playground...OH NO! Grace took a paper plate and started fanning the flame on the stove. I had to explain to her that we don't do that outside (while I was turning down the flame). I also had to ask them not to drink the recirculated water coming out of the irrigation system in the backyard. It is funny what we take for granted. They still have so much to learn but are amazing kids. They will be tracked out soon so that should be really fun......we will go to myrtle beach for a few days...

blessings..
