Back to It!

Well I guess I should have anticipated what comes with listing your house on the market, but for some reason, I was hoping this time would be different. We already have a showing in the morning and an open house on Saturday. So I clean tonight, and I clean again Friday night. I guess I was hoping someone would buy it sight unseen so I could be done with showings. Haha I am feeling a little overwhelmed these days. We got a phone call this a.m. from our builder's assistant asking us what kind of windows we wanted him to order today for our house. Hmmmm....not something I have ever shopped for before, so it wasn't like I had a clue. So off Ryan and I went to Zeeland Lumber to pick out windows. We got that accomplished and went to the Toyota place because on Saturday, I saw a different van I wanted to check out. It was a 2008 demo model opposed to the 2006 model we had already picked out. It didn't cost that much more, so I think in the long run, it may be more worth it to get the newer one. I test drove it and then sat depressed thinking about the fact that we are used to 1 house payment and 1 car payment and in a matter of months, we could have 2 house payments and 2 car payments. I got stressed out and left b/c I don't even know if it is possible. It would be soooooooooooo super nice if we could sell Ryan's truck. It is just sitting in the garage wasting space. He has a year left on the lease, so we can't turn it in until next year. Our only hope is to sell it. So, if you know of anyone who wants a great 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab with Hemi- EXTREMELY low mileage (46,000 miles), let me know. :-) It is for sale for $15,900 (what we owe on the buy out). If we didn't have to drive to NC in a few weeks, I'd just keep the truck and drive it and wait on the van until we sell the truck. But I refuse to drive the truck to NC b/c the kids fight like cats and dogs in the back seat of that thing b/c they can touch each other. Back to square one.

Best case scenario- our house sells tomorrow with this showing, someone buys Ryan's truck.... leaving me with 1 house payment and 1 van payment!!!!!

Our builder then emailed us a schedule of exactly what will be done when on our house and when we need to select things... like flooring, paint colors, shingle/siding colors, etc. He has it down to the day. Of course I feel like I need to meet with the decorator ASAP b/c several of the dates fall when we are out of town. So that added another stress. Then the doorbell rings and it is DHL delivering the paperwork to be signed for our construction loan. Agh!

So I am off to BSF to get some much needed relief from the stress of worldly things. I know that I will hear what I need to hear from God tonight- such a source of comfort and peace to know that He will provide and He will take care of the details. Now what was I worrying about??????
