For Sale!

....Our House!

So I thought it was finally time to write about our situation with our house. We've had this thing up for sale since October. At the time, we just thought, yeah it's time to find something a bit bigger. Don't get me wrong, we absolutely loved this cutie house when we were newly weds. (We will have owned this house 4 years in September.) Even with Isaac it isn't so bad, but after this other baby arrives, I think it will get super small...super fast! Well, as you all know, the economy stinks right now...and nothing is selling! I know several people who have shared the same frustrations when trying to sell. Trust me, we do know this now! January rolled around and we had maybe 3 showings total so far...and then found out we were pregnant with our 2nd baby. So the anxiety about selling the house on time definitely set in since then, especially as of today, we've not had an offer yet:( We've had tons of showings since the weather's been nice, but no more interest than that...not good! We even talked about price reduction which we didn't want to do, but we'll see. We would really like to get it sold before September just to save the hassle of moving the new baby too. So the countdown is on! It's been almost 9 months on the market so it's time!!

Recently we had an open house, and then had a showing today, which did go pretty well actually! Lots of prayers that something good happens with that!
Here are some outdoor pics of the house:

Our back deck (my favorite part of the house!)
The deck with view of back yard and detached garage.

So if any of you know ANYONE looking for a starter house...send them our way! Or have them call Shiela our real estate agent...she's great! (# is in 1st pic). For all the info and specs on our house go to RemaxRealty.com Look under Goshen, IN. It's listed @ $96,900.
Our MLS # is 9914430. Great slide show of the inside of the house are on there too! Any help spreading the word would be so appreciated...thanks:)


On another note, Isaac and I went and helped (well I helped:))@ a BIG yard sale today. We're talkin' at least 10 tables of stuff, cars, lawn mowers, furniture..you name it-it is huge! It was thrown by our old neighbors, Dan and Jenn who lived right beside us since we moved in. They asked us to put things in their sale if we wanted to. So we made some $ we didn't have before-yay! It's on SR 119 just SW of CR 40. Going on Fri & Sat 9-5, so stop by!

Funny story about Dan and Jenn is that we got married exactly the same time, moved into our homes the same time, had our babies next door to each other IN the hospital 20 min. apart! and put our houses up for sale...the same time! How crazy is that?! They moved out early though and live with Dan's parents, where the yard sale was today. Their daughter Zoa, is so funny, and her and Isaac took a wagon ride today with Dan's dad.
Isaac liked it....

...then he saw Mommy and was ready to get out! Go figure!
...I thought they were cute pics though:)

So that's the update on us! Oh and the baby is 28 weeks along as of yesterday...we reached the 7 month mark! Only 3 to go:-/ Yikes!
