For Sale

As many of you know, our house is for sale. We love our house, but we knew it might not hold us forever with just three bedrooms. We weren't planning to move for another year or two, but with housing prices & interest rates low, it seemed worth a look at least. A couple weeks ago, we found a house that we love. It is just a couple miles directly east of our current location & has some room for us to grow.

Trying to sell our house has been quite interesting so far. Two weekends ago we got our first call that someone wanted to show the house. We packed up the kids & headed out to do some errands during the time that it was to be shown. When we got home, thirty minutes after the babies' normal feeding time, we found ourselves in a bit of a difficult situation. The door between the garage & house, which we never lock, was locked. We just happened to have with us the only set of car keys that doesn't have a house key on the ring. We were locked out of our own house. The babies were still asleep in the car, but I was more than a little worried that they would wake up soon & be hungry. After calling our neighbor who has a key to our house & not getting an answer, we called our realtor & found out that the realtor who had shown the house was now over an hour away. Justin decided his only option was to climb up into the attic through the garage, make his way to the other side of the house & climb down using the attic staircase in the hallway by the bedrooms. Luckily, he managed to do this without falling through the ceiling. I think he may have regretted having that extra insulation sprayed last year as he was digging through it to find a safe place to step. God apparently felt sorry for me & the babies stayed asleep until we finally got into the house, over an hour past their feeding time.

Daddy to the rescue!Since then, we've made sure we always have a house key with us. I got a call for another showing yesterday as I was in the process of preparing a meal to take to some friends of ours who have a new baby. I had one hour in which to finish making the meal, get it all packaged up to go, clean my disastrous kitchen, pick up the house, sweep the floors, deal with two babies who woke up early from their nap & get diapers changed. I'm not sure, but I think a magic superwoman cape may have appeared on my shoulders, because it somehow all got done. Anyway, that's our crazy life these days! It will all be worth it when we finally sell the house!
