Sold!

They sold the house we live in yesterday.

The agent called on Tuesday to say that the walk-through would be on Wednesday. I rearranged the pantry on Tuesday so that it would be orderly and then did some deep cleaning Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. I even mopped the kitchen (my most hated household task, though every time I do it I remember that it is fairly easy and quick). I felt like I was going on a job interview. I prayed most of the morning, as I mopped, that the new landlord would be a good landlord and would be moving in her/himself. (Who wants a bunch of college kids renting near you... oops - I was that college kid once!)

I kept humming the music I know my scriptures to - about how God will work all to good, even if He does have me and Dan wander around Princeton like Abraham in the desert (if we moved, this would be our fourth move in three years).

The agent and buyer came at 2:10 (about 40 minutes after John should have gone down for his nap). The buyer told me she has three sons, ages 8, 6, and 4 and that her boys are looking forward to having a back yard and that they all love babies. She went on to say that she was so glad the baby's room is in the front of the house because that means her boys can yell all they want while in the backyard. Wow!

The took down the For Sale sign yesterday evening.

I'm looking forward to getting to know my new neighbor. Now to continue praying for the new neighbor for the house next door.
