Buying and selling homes...

A week from tomorrow we are putting our house on the market. Kind of an intimidating thought for me - I have lots of tidying/organizing/packing to do to get the house in a show-able condition. Funny how living in a house for almost 4 years leads to accumulating lots and lots of stuff! And, for as small as they are, babies have a disproportionate amount of stuff as well! We are hoping that we will have an open house soon, and maybe get some offers for the house. In the mean time, we've been looking at some homes in Cedar Falls and Waverly. Right now we are drawn to a house in Waverly - it would be a house we could live in the rest of our lives, and it's in a great neighborhood. We could put an offer on it, but we'd have to make it contingent on selling our house. I'm not sure if the people selling the house would go for that, so we might do some waiting and hoping that our house will sell soon! If our house sells before I'm done with school, I may have to commute to Iowa City. That wouldn't be so bad, though, because my classmate is also planning to commute the last few months of school... We'll see how it all turns out. :) Right now our living situation is up in the air, and we are just trusting God that he will make things work out just as they should. He's already brought Aaron a great job in Cedar Falls, so we know the right house is out there for us too. Hopefully the right buyer for our current house too! :)

I'm looking forward to the day I get to post on this blog that we've accepted an offer on our house... Soon I hope!
