So today we got a phone call from the Realtor we were going to list our house with a few months ago. Apparently, she has someone who really needs a home and it’s right around the price we wanted for our house.

Why am I bolding and italicizing certain words, you ask? Because I had just gotten used to the idea that we were staying in our house for the long haul.

I just planted flowers and tomatoes and peppers and a little herb garden. We just bought furniture for our awesome deck that took a year to finish. And I just spent a weekend cleaning and organizing and thinking to myself,

“I love our house.”

And now someone wants to buy it. If I’m really honest with myself, we probably should sell it, because our #1 goal right now is to get out of debt ASAP, and this move will get us that much closer. The lot we wanted in our neighborhood is still available, and with the profit we’d make on our house, we could pay cash for the lot and then build a new house. It makes a lot of sense financially. It’s also pretty uncanny that this came out of nowhere and fell into our lap, which leads Tim and I to believe that God’s got his hands in this.

But honestly, even though it all makes sense, I’m sort of sad to think that we might be leaving our little house. If this goes through, we’ll have to be out of our house in a few weeks.

Once again, life is happening really fast.
