This is one of my favorite pictures ever, 3 generations of bike riders with Carsten and his dad and grandpa--Lyons, CO---summer 2010.

In Escrow!

I know my blog has been confusing so I just want everyone to know, YES, we are in escrow! We were offered our full asking price (minus some help with the buyers closing costs). This offer came after only 2 weeks on the market so we are very happy. It has been a whirlwind of inspections and packing and wondering if this is really going to happen. We will find out tomorrow or the next day if the appraisal came in at the asking price and if the buyers were approved for their FHA loan. If all is well, the termite work will begin on Friday and we will be out of here in 2 weeks! Wow! We are very excited but a bit overwhelmed too. Keep us in your prayers please.
Love, Dana

Leap of Faith

This move is one of the hardest things we have ever done. We are not ones that like change or moving out of our comfort zone. One Easter Sunday in Hanford, CA at St. Bridget's church the priest gave a sermon about the little caterpillar and how frightened he was when the cocoon started forming around him. The poor caterpillar had no idea what was going to happen to him. He was in this dark scary place no knowing what would happen to him next. Believe me, I can relate!
Then last Sunday the priest in Olympia, Washington talked about how the disciples must have felt after Jesus ascended in to heaven. He thinks the title for that Sunday should have been, "What now, Lord?" because that is what the disciples must have been thinking--what now??? Dennis really related to this sermon and we both looked at each other and just smiled.

Here are some pictures of our house all staged for selling. Can you believe we got 2 offers on the same day only 2 weeks after we had it on the market? The young couple that are buying it have a darling little 15 month old girl and plan to have more kids. The young woman grew up in Corona attending the same grade school, middle school and high school that our girls went to. The young man lived in Corona until he was 12. They are both very excited about the house and raising their family in Corona. May God bless them!

We are moving to Colorado!!! I am posting this because some of you don't know yet and my blog might be confusing at first.

Lots to do!

Wow, I thought I would write more often but I have been pre-occupied to say the least. Let's see, the last time I wrote we were getting the house ready to put on the market.

The next thing we did was have a garage sale. For some reason this was a huge step for me. I guess getting rid of things made me realize that we are really going to do this. Plus, I have only had one other garage sale and it was years ago at our house on "E" street. The sale went very well and we sold almost everything on Friday so made it a one day sale instead of two. Here is a picture of some of our junk gathered in the garage.
