Relief. That is what i felt when the realitor FINALLY phoned us later monday night that the house was officially sold.
We had started showing the house last wensday and had about 20 people through. Monday night we took offers. Our realitor though at least two were coming but the one pulled out and the other people picked out a different house. There was also someone who pulled out because they didn't want to get stuck in a bidding war. So, we were stuck with one offer. Which was fine. It only takes one person to buy anyways.
So it is sold for what we wanted. We are out in two months. Quicker then we thought but I know things will work out. God worked out our last move so I know this move will work out too.
We are very surprised this house went for as much as it did. Considering we bought it for cheap only a year ago. This house has the trap door basement thing, it is built in 1914, a busy street and small yard so that scares away alot of buyers, so we knew it could be a hard sell so Praise God we were able to sell it in the first week. Maybe we could have gone above list price if we were in a better time year but all that matters is it is done.
As well, this was a cash deal, so we don't even have to wait for financing.
.Now, it is finding a house. We need to upgrade and as much as i really really don't like bungelows, that is what we are looking for. We like that bungelows have big basements, so hopefully we can find a good sized one with full basement to give us alot of room.
I will keep you all updated in the house search. We aren't picky. We just want good bones and a good lot and of couse good area, cosmetics can be changed and aren't expensive. We are looking up in North Kildonan, that way we can be close to Aidan's school
Now since we were kicked out all weekend, here are some pics of the things we did to keep busy

It's always so funny how small a world it really is and how you can stumble across people that you have a lot in common with through the Internet.
We have a 21 month old daughter and one due on September 25.
Your kids are adorable as well - you always seem to have so much fun with them!
I hope that your house search goes well for you and that you are able to find something quickly that meets your needs.
We attend Covenant Christian Reformed Church in NK. I have heard that Riverwood is a really great church to go to!
I'm looking forward to seeing how your house hunting goes.
i'm so excited for you & the sale of your house! and i'll be crossing my fingers that you find the perfect new place for your family!
i Love these pics - so beautiful...could your little girl be any more beautiful? that dress is gorgeous on her!! and the bum crack? priceless!! :)
yep the dress is cute, not bad for $1.99 at old navy hey? i actually bought two, one in a bigger size.
Congratulations! I'm so glad it sold quickly. Good luck with finding something new!
He might know some people who go to our church - the CRC is a pretty small group of people (especially the Dutch community - everyone knows everyone). Let me know if he does wind up knowing someone!
Hey again Erin,
I just realized that your son Liam and my daughter Emily will be in the same kindergarten class in 2010.
I also added your page to our blog (if you don't mind that is). Let me know if you would like me to remove it.
Congrats on getting the house sold so fast and getting the offer you wanted!!!
Great pictures of your kids!!
Hope you find the house you are looking for!
Congrats Erin! I just messaged you on facebook and asked about the house sich, but this answers my question. . . . from my limited knowledge of house shopping, 2 months should be lots of time to find a new place. I'll keep my ears open for you guys if i hear of anything in that area . . . . good luck!
