We've Sold!!!

So things have been VERY crazy the last few months. To sum it up, after 19 house showings, we have finally sold our house! It came right down to the latest we could sell in order for it to all be finalized in time for us to get our mortgage  for the new house. All because of GOD and our amazing realtor! Our realtor is a friend, and his wife works with Shane, and he really worked hard to get our house sold. We definitely didn't sell it for what we (or he) originally thought it would sell for, but in the end it is exactly what we need to pay off the existing mortgage, a few debts and have our downpayment for the new house! Nothing to spare, but at least we can get into the new house!!! PRAISE GOD! The cool thing too is the buyers are from Slave Lake and had lost everything in the fires a few weeks ago. So we feel good about being able to let at least one of those many families get back into a house... not that we had anything to do with it, but they really needed a place to live, so God answered their prayer too!

There has been so much happening in our new house too! We have a possesion date of July 13th! so that is already less than a month away. YIKES! We are so excited... but now I have to pack. The wonderful thing is that we didn't sell too soon that we would have to find another place to live before the house was finished, and it also gives us almost 2 weeks after Shane is done working to have both of us packing and watching the boys. I don't have to do it all by myself! YAY! So it is very good timing, of course it was God's!

So here are some pictures of what the house looks like now:



It looks like the garage floor had just been poured



This is a few weeks old, so the siding is done now :-)
