Well.. I have some great news to share. After only being on the market for 7 days, our house offically sold today!

We are both so exited/nervous/overwhelemed.. and the list goes on. We were not expecting this to happen so soon, but couldn't be happier. This process was so scary to begin with and it just goes to show how much God has been in control of our situation. Now we are in the process of trying to purchase a house in Tulsa. It's always one thing after another.

Monday afternoon when Mitch got his job offer, we also heard from the relator and they said they showed our house that afternoon and the people loved our house, but it is between ours and one other house. So we were to just wait and see what they decide. Well yesterday morning, we recieved news the chose ours and were putting in an offer. From the time I got home from work until about 10:00pm we were working out the details. This is our first time to be homeowners, so all of this selling stuff is so new to us. We were on the phone with each of our parents and grandparents asking advice ha!

We are super thankful we have that solid support system and they all helped us so much last night. I am glad we are getting all this experience at our age. It has been such a learning process just being homeowners, but the selling and buying process is crazy! I have been through some stressful times in my life- nothing even comes close to this. I remember when I was finishing up school, graduating, completely remodeling a house in a different state and planning a wedding all at the same time... I didn't think it could get any mroe stressful than that. Well this trumps that by far!

Our relator was busy yesterday afternoon, so we recieved the offer via email around 6:00pm yesterday and we had to wait until 9:30pm for our relator to call us and give us more details. We weren't completely against their offer, but it wasn't the best. So we counter offered- the only thing we weren't happy about was they wanted us to pay all of their closing costs on their house they were moving out of AND on top of that want us completely moved out in less than 30 days!!!

So we countered back and they actually came back with a better offer for us. I have been stressed all day with wonderding what they would come back with and when I heard I was confused for a second becasue it sounded too good to be true, but after talking to Mitch, he reassured me thats what they were doing. We could not beleive it. Not only did we sell our house in a week, but we got what we wanted from it.

Now comes the crazy part- they are giving us what we want, but we do have to be completely moved out by July 12!!! That's so soon and we are going to be gone one of those full weeks. So thaty pretty much gives us about 2 1/2 weeks. We are just a little stressed about that, but we figured it is well worth it for what we are getting for our house. So since Mitch's last day of work isn't until July 21 we are going to have to find someone to crash with for a week :)

I was dreading the selling process so much, and I can't explain how thankful I am we only went through it for about a week. And not to mention trying to keep our house beyond spotless was getting really old!

So we are packing up lots of stuff this weekend and taking more to Tulsa and starting a storage unit. We now how to find somewhere in Tulsa and luckily I found 3 houses we love this past weekend, so hoepfully we will go see them again and I can show Mitch. He has only seen pictures- but we are so excited to keep this process moving.

Also, an update on my my mom.. She got to come home last night. They still are not for sure what happened, but whatever it was it is not there anymore. We are so thankful and she will most likely still have to go back in every once and a while and make sure they don't find anything again, but for now she is good!!! Thank you so much for all the prayers, for her and for our situation... they are definitly getting answered!

We will also accept all the help we can get in packing and moving ha! Just throwing that out there :)

Have a great day!
