No updates in a while, life has been crazy! We put our house on the market the first week in May, preparing for our move back to Colorado. Within two days we had three interested buyers and two really solid offers. We negotiated on the first offer following the inspection and couldn't agree on the amount to be credited back at closing, so the buyers walked away. The second offer was great! We had the second inspection and the buyers found that our house had old lead paint. They freaked out. Mind you, our house is 100 years old and we could have about guaranteed that there would be lead paint. Most houses in town have some old lead paint on them somewhere. Ours is under at least two other coats of non-lead paint. But they rescinded their offer. So, after a month of negotiations we were back on the market. Things seem bleak at this point - we are planning to hit the road for Colorado a month from today. But we are just trying to be patient and faithful and trusting that things will work out the way they need to. Not necessarily the way we think would have been best, but the way they need to. There's great beauty in looking back and seeing how our plans usually aren't the best, but God's always are :)
Our hope was that our house would be sold well before our baby got here, but that hasn't proven to be the case. But, since our baby seems to be taking his sweet time, there's still hope! My due date was yesterday, the 19th. So, we're dying with excitement waiting to meet our new baby, and also so desperately hoping to sell our house.
That's it for now. Hopefully my next post will be with pictures of our sweet little boy!
