House

As I'm sure you can imagine, we have a TON of things on our list of things to do for our move...But one major task was selling our house!
 
 The day after we found out we were receiving orders, we called USAA and within a few hours, they hooked us up with Coldwell Bankers here in town. We knew that getting the house listed was a top priorty because we want to know it's sold before we go so that we aren't stressing/trying to manage everything from another country. However, our buying experience through Coldwell Banker was beyond frustrating and so upsetting that we were extremely hesitant to list through them for selling. Thankfully though, a nurse I work with has a sister who is a realtor through them, and she has been SO amazing during the selling process that it has renewed our faith in the task of owning a home. [Seriously, if any of you Abilene peeps need a realtor for any reason, Char Glidden has been our absolute hero...check her out.]
Anyway! within 48 hours of the house being listed we had a bite! And 3 weeks later (after much negotiations) we are under contract and waiting for the appraisal!
We've had the inspection, and after finding a plumbing issue that we had to fix, all is well and we are scheduled to close at the end of the month. PRAISE GOD! The appraisal is set for tomorrow and that will be the last of it all until we sign on the dotted line :)
 

January 2013....Such a sweet and intimate moment for our familiy. A moment I will never forget...
