Threes a charm.

Hey everybody. Sorry it has taken me a little while to post a new blog. April and I have been very busy getting the house ready to sell, and we have both been sick at the same time with bad cold/flu-ish/sinus infection kinda things that have had both of us running on reserves for a couple of weeks now. April has had it now for three weeks, I believe. I am better now, and have gotten back to the work of getting my plan ready for the Bean'ry. I had taken a break for that whilest we got the house on the market. We finally got it on the market last Wednesday, and I'll be John Denver if it did not sell by Saturday! April and I were at a disc golf tournament in Salisbury when our realtor called to tell us the news. It was our very first showing, which was from 10-11, and she called us around 12. Crazy quickness. They originally tried to shave $5000 off, but I held my own, knowing it was worth what we were asking, and again, our realtor called back 30 minutes later to tell us they would take it, and allow us to stay here until the middle of June. We will be renting the house back until then, and the closing is at the end of the month! It's crazy that we were so freaked out about having to sell it, and wondering what all we had to do to prepare, and make sure everything was perfect, and it sold after the first showing! The lady next door has had her house on the market for a month or more at a price $3500 more than ours, with no offers. The guy across the street sold his house in 8 days at a price that is $12,500 less than ours, even though ours is newer and nicer with lots more features and no repairs needed. We were just blessed all around. We plan to use most of the money we made to pay for a good chunk of a years rent in advance, to take one less thing off what we have to worry about...
So, there ya go. From now til June we can relax in our home, taking our time to get packed, and getting ourselves ready for all God has for in Florida. We are anxiously excited, and the reality is becoming more evident as the days go on that life as we know it will soon be MUCH different. We know He has BIG plans for us, and can't wait to see what they are. Please continue to pray for us as we begin to pack and all that stuff. That we would truly seek His will out in every way, that He would direct our path, and that we would rely totally on Him. Thanks, as always!
P.S. The picture is from Mute Math, who we saw in Winston-Salem a couple of weeks ago. An amazing live show!!!
