Moving right along...

Here's the latest update on the house adventure! We have finally signed a contract with our buyers and they have started the loan process at my dad's bank. I got a call from the appraiser this morning asking if he could come tomorrow. This is what we have been anticipating for a while now. It's great to get the contract signed, get the earnest cash deposit (so we know they're for real) etc. but getting the house to appraise for our selling price is a little scary. We are asking the same amount that our home appraised for back in 2009 and we have added a $2500 really nice storage building since then. We are hoping that the market is going to be on our side and let it appraise where we need it.

I have been thinking about it for a little while now ever since my husband made the comment "what if it doesn't appraise?" I never thought of that. I just figured, surely it would since that's what it was 2 years ago AND we had added some things. But, you just never know with the market. When my dad called his appraiser a couple weeks ago to ask if he thought it would appraise for the same price, he said he was confident he could find comparables to confirm our asking price. I just hope that's the case.

We are giving it over to the Lord. I feel like every now and then I try to take it back from Him, but then I just remind myself to cast my cares upon the Lord and do not worry about tomorrow, because He will handle it all for me. I am so anxious to get this part over with so we can move on with everything else. If you think about it, say a little prayer for us around 11am tomorrow while the appraiser is here and as he works to find comparable sales in the area. We appreciate it very much!
