Quick Update

I just wanted to say thanks to all the people who left such kind, supportive comments on my post about the house selling. I probably shouldn't blog when I'm so stressed. I'm not freaking out as much now, and we're making progress on our move. We have had so many kind people offer to help us out in any way possible. The relief society has arranged to have some ladies come over and help me pack up my kitchen --a huge task-- tomorrow. I feel so blessed to have such a great ward and to know so many people who care about us and are willing to help.

As far as we know, the deal on the house is going through. We've had the appraisal and taken care of all the requests they had from the inspection. We just have to pack up and get out of here. Grant hopes to be out this weekend because he has a major report for work due on Monday, so he'll probably have to work late, which would prevent him from doing any moving that day. I hope all will go smoothly. I feel like we've made a lot of progress, but the closer we get to the weekend, the more I dread that we will find there is so much more to do than we thought.

Still no news on our search for a house. I decided to stop worrying so much about it at least for this week. Even if we were to find something, we'd still end up needing to move to my parents' house for a little while so the deal could go through. So, I decided it would be best if I just focus on moving for now and worry about finding a house once we're out of this one. We both really hope to find something here in West Salem again, especially in our same ward. On the other hand, we acknowledge that the Lord might need us somewhere else (even if it isn't our top choice).

That's what's going on for now. I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to post again. Thanks for all your kind thoughts and support, expressed or not, I've felt and appreciated it.
