House Update

Well, thank you everyone for your prayers! Last week after we got the inspection report I thought I was going to throw up! :) There were several minor/major things that came up on the inspection that we were not expecting and the list of the repairs the buyers wanted us to do seemed overwhelming. After some time, a few walk-throughs by other contractors, things seemed a bit better and more reasonable and we just reached a middle ground with the buyers and are wrapping up the paperwork tomorrow. Praise the Lord! We didn't have to come down in price or do as much as they originally wanted, and ended up staying close to our asking price. So, that was great! We are set to move out around May 31st - well, move our stuff into a storage unit!! We will be living with my sister Stacie and her husband in Salem until we can find another house. We're on the hunt for a pre-foreclosure or a bank-owned property!!! So, if you see a GREAT deal in your neighborhood, let us know. Again, thanks for all your prayers!! - don't stop though!! - we'll still need them in order to have patience during this transition and wisdom to know which house we're supposed to buy. We'll keep you posted!!
Here's one of the very few shots I have of my kids together!! Just to leave you with a "brown-eye-blue-eyed" shot.

Glad things are working out. Ben and Tim can commiserate on the commute, though they'll be going in opposite directions. :)
