NERVOUS

For about a year and half now there has been a "For Sale" sign in our yard. We have had several people call and stop by over this year, but I guess it was about two or three weeks ago when our lives got pretty interesting.
From the beginning...Ryan has always been in love with a particular farm in Vinton, the Heduck Farm and after many years this farm is up for sale. This was at first an unreachable goal, but after many discussions we are able to purchase this farm along with another couple. We are buying the house and 74 acres and the other couple is purchasing the rest of the land around 115 acres. The exact same day that Ryan made and offer on the Heduck farm and it was accepted we received a call about our house this was on Saturday, November 15th and we scheduled a showing that next Friday the 21st. Well they liked the house and came back for a second look on the 22nd and Tuesday night we signed a puchase agreement and an appraiser is coming to our house today. Everthing is moving so fast and I can hardly believe it.
Needless to say the process of selling our home is moving a lot faster than us purchasing the farm. At this point we may be homeless after Christmas. We are very excited, but would like for our process on the Heduck farm to be moving as quickly. Ryan picked up a draft of our purchase agreement, but we are no where close yet. The Heduck farm had to be surveyed, new deeds created and we have not even started the bank process. I am stressed to say the least. I hope Kathy and Rodney need some house guests, because we may not have a choice.
Well that is my exciting news. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers that this all works out. And if anyone would like to do some house work give me your number. Definately need old rubber maid totes and boxes if anyone has any.

WOW, Congrats!!! You are in an awesome situation. Better to not have a place to live for a few weeks then to have two mortgages for an unknown amount of time!!! I am sure everything else will turn out great. Just think all this busy busy work may help you beat me in the weight loss!

Congratulations! Dad is finally selling my Grandma and Grandpa Samples' house, too and are looking at some land!

I'm sure everything will work out just fine with your move.

I'm glad we found your blog!
