November 2022
Our latest adventure included selling our house that we bought when I was pregnant with Addy. We had an amazing realtor from our church, Rita Garner, who not only helped us throughout the whole process but helped us pack up and move too! She even called in her grandsons to help us move. We couldn't have asked for anyone better through the process.
We went live on the market on September 27th, the week that we took the kids to Montana, and closed on November 21st. During the whole process it was interesting to go through the different stages of "letting go" of our house with the kids and ourselves. There were definitely tears that last week, and plenty of pictures for memories. We even let the kids do a video of how the house was set up. We sure did love our house, but that is exactly what we have stressed to our kids...IT IS JUST A HOUSE. We have encouraged them with two things:
1) We are to do what God wants us to do.
2) As long as we are together as a family, we are good!
Knowing that we are wanting to leave at the beginning of April, we knew we didn't need a 6 month lease. We talked to our Pastor, and he said to let him mention it from the pulpit. He mentioned it on October 30th, and we looked at a place on October 31st. We have been so blessed by the family that is letting us rent from them on a monthly basis. Our kids absolutely love them, and I couldn't imagine a better transition place for us to live before going to Montana.
