A month ago, we had three houses. One we rented, one we owned down in Florida, and another we were buying. Here’s a quick timeline on what’s happened since.
3/9: We bought and closed on the house we currently live in.
3/10: We thought we had our home in FL rented. Randy called our realtor to take it off the market, and she informed us a family had already scheduled a showing – we honored that and ended up accepting their offer soon after (the renter called just prior to this to back out).
3/17: We moved into our new home.
3/29: We closed on the FL house, and did the final clean-up of our rental home. Here are the kids on the porch, tired from all that finishing up…
Re-cap: Within 20 days, we were able to buy a house, move out of a house, and sell another house. Our FL house was on the market for almost 2 years. Only God could orchestrate all of this! And, even though we didn’t exactly come out ahead on the sale of the house, we’re trusting God and believing that we followed His lead on all of this.
So, now I’m gonna revel in that fact that we have one residence, one home to call our own. All of our belongings under one roof – first time in a long time. To God be the glory!

We just cannot imagine the relief and the feeling like “a ton of bricks are off your shoulders” now. It’s gotta feel like you’re almost dreaming, right?! You have handled this stress thru the last almost 2 years much better than I would have….I am sure of that!! So PROUD of you for all you’ve done, with homeschooling, helping Dylan with his leg, helping Lainey with her speech, packing, moving, unpacking…getting the rooms looking fabulous, ETC. You never cease to totally AMAZE me!!!! Oh, by the way, Granpa loves Marley’s “tennis boots”!!! :) Love ya!!
