SOLD

WEll good news, We finally sold our house in Avon!!!! We have had renters in it since 2 days after we moved out, and they had a purchase agreement to buy our house since that time, however because of their financial situation and owning a home in Nashville, they have been unable to purchase our home. Michael and I haven't really felt we should move forward till our house sold, however had looked a few places and almost purchased a forclosed house because it was a great deal, but in the long run just didn't feel like it was what we wanted or should do. We would of had to fix the forclosed home up to make it what we would want to be our home and we didn't know if we should do that with owning two homes. So we passed on the forclosed home and were a little disappointed that we haven't had our own place. We just kept praying that God would open a door or an avenue for us. My dad is the Lakeland Building trades instructor and we knew he didn't have anyone to build for the upcoming year 2010-2011. We always hoped that one day we would be able to build our own home and with Lakeland Building trades you get a great deal, not having to pay labor. So around March or April we decided that maybe that God may be leading us in that direction and took the leap of faith to commit to building with them. We felt since the building trades process is a whole year, that would give us another year to sell our house before we had 2 complete mortages, and had talked about putting our house on the market in August. Then Much to our suprise shortly after we got news that our renters wanted to purchase our home and quickly. On Memorial Day weekend, we finally closed. While it was an exciting time, it was a little sad too as that was finally the end to that little chapter of our lives. We are however, very blessed at where God is leading us, and can't wait to see what is next. This building process , we expect to be hard, but we also look forward to the excitement it brings. Next May, We will finally be in our own place, again!!!
