Soak It Up
Homeschooling, motherhood, military life and the adventures in between.
The school year has begun
A recap of the summer
My adventure of life jumped on the rapids for a bit.
Literally.
I am SO very thankful for many things, but most of all that I listened to what God put on my heart at the beginning of the year. I started the conversation of moving early with Ben when I felt the nudge and I also advocated for putting the house on the market early. I remember telling him that I would much rather have a crazy summer of selling a house and finding housing across the country, than have a crazy school year and be trying to do that on top of teaching and activities and actually moving. And Praise the Lord I had that foresight!
After our open house, we had a couple more showings. Each time was promising but would turn out to be nothing. We went on vacation for a week to the Adirondack mountains and I was sure that we would have showing requests while we were gone, but I was wrong. It was, however, nice to unplug for a week and not clean a house.
1st Open House
An awkward showing
Mint house is officially on the market! It's only been a few days and it already feels like forever. That's probably because for over a month, people have been telling us that it's going to sell SO fast and maybe even before it hits the market. They were all wrong.
Fun Fact: we were walking through Central Park when Ben made the call to list the house.
When no news isn't good news
We ended up only have that one showing last week. I'm very confused where all the other people went...I'm very confused what God is doing right now, but I know He's doing something. The couple that looked at our house, emailed with a few questions the following day and then we haven't heard another word from them. People said our house would be sold right now, and it's not. They also say that as soon as we officially list it, it will be gone. I'm preparing myself that they are wrong.
We had a busy enough week without showings, so I actually saw it as a blessing.
Sea Cliff is a very unique place to live, and while it's not my paradise, I can see how it is for other people. The Porch Pickers played a concert on the beach. It was an absolutely beautiful evening and kids were running around playing and dancing to the music. Parents were chatting and eating by the little cafe. You could see the Greek Festival going on across the water and I hear that Jimmy Fallon was there ;
