I guess I should update my faithful readers on our upcoming transition to the north land. Things have been busy around here as we prepare to relocate. We've been selling houses, signing leases, getting repairs done, and making zillions of phone calls to arrange all the details.
Our house has a contract on it! We listed it the week we left for our trip to Philadelphia and we had an offer when we got back. We had accepted an offer within two weeks of it being listed! Which was wonderful, but kind of changed our timing a bit! We originally were hoping to stay around Bentonville until July(ish), but our closing date was set for May 11th! So, we quickly started finding a place to live after May 11th...
We found a GREAT rental home in Philadelphia! It's actually bigger than our current home and has a great yard for dogs and little boys to play in! And, the location is supurb... about 20 minutes from downtown, only minutes from all the shopping I could ever want (Trader Joes, Whole Foods, and much, much more), in a great neighborhood with playgrounds and tree-lined streets, and less than 10 minutes from Bud's work. However, the house is not available until mid-July...
So, in the meantime, we will move to Bella Vista, AR (about 10 minutes from our current home) next week. We found a furnished townhome to rent and the moving company will hold our possessions for 60 days while we are in transition. So, we'll stay there until the end of June, when we head to Nashville...
My parents are leaving for Kenya at the end of June for about two weeks. So, we are going to house-sit/dog-sit for them while they are gone. And, hopefully, be able to hear all about their trip when they get back (as long as they aren't sleeping the whole time from the jet lag :)). Then, the day after they get back, we head to our new home. I am excited to get settled in, but am not looking forward to leaving Arkansas!
It has been amazing to see God work in all the little tiny details along the way. He provided us a buyer, a place to rent in Philly, temporary housing, and we know he will continue to work in every detail of our transition. What a mighty God we serve!

How exciting! (and, what a miracle the house sold so quickly!). Can't wait to see pictures. :)
We surely do serve a mighty God. We're so grateful for his fabulous provision of all the details for y'all. Love and Joy, Mama
He really has worked out ALL the details for you guys... He just overlooked the details for US when we prayed you would stay here. :)
I'm so glad everything is working out. Thanks for posting this - I'm interested in the details! Looking forward to seeing your new home in Philly in November 2011. Love you!
