For real???

We've been working sooooo hard the last few weeks to get our house packed up and ready to be out next weekend. We just had some friends over on Saturday to get everything out except for the few things we need for the last week - couch, TV, fridge, mattresses on the floor, and that's about it.
Then we get a call today that the lady who 'bought' our house is backing out. WHAT????? On top of the fact that that means we aren't moving out, moving in with Lonnie's parents, and building our house, it means we have to now move ALL OUR STUFF OUT OF STORAGE AND BACK INTO OUR HOUSE. Well, not all, but we have to make our house look 'show worthy' again, meaning we can't show it with mattresses on the floor and nothing but nails on the walls.
So we're back to square one. We're so disappointed. We had our little pity party, and now we're moving on. We'll start moving stuff back in tomorrow and get it back on the market and pray for someone to come buy it soon!
We've had to remind ourselves that when God shut a door, He opens a window. So I look forward to seeing what God has in store for us!



And look at all the fun we had while packing!

I'm so sorry to hear that you guys! I don't know if you remember, but the same thing happened us when we had our old house "sold" or so we thought. As it turns out, if we would have moved when the original buyer accepted and it would have went through, we wouldn't have found our home now which we're in love with! It wasn't even on the market at the time, so keep your chin up, there's more in store for you and God knows what's best for your sweet little family!!
