Well, our house was on the market for about one week when we received three offers. We have accepted the best offer and have signed the contract to close on February 22. We have been praying all along that God would make this transition happen smoothly and in His timing. I guess we can't really complain if He has answered our prayers. It is definitely a bittersweet moment. We have made tons of memories in this old house. From fixer-up projects to all night XBOX parties we have had some good times. It has served as a home, church, playhouse, spookhouse and basecamp for many a special operation. We have made giant beams worthy of Build It Bigger. We have shoveled crap in the front yard, literally. We filmed a Ford truck commercial on our back porch, using an "As Seen on TV" gravel unloader. We scaled walls at death-defying heights to keep out the bugs. We have tossed flaming tennis balls on the back driveway in lieu of New Year's fireworks. We have taunted death by electrocution holding a 30' metal pole next to power lines while standing on a 20' stepladder strapped to the bed of same Ford truck, all in the name of "Happy Holidays". We have sacrificed burnt offerings of steak, chicken, ribs, hamburgers and the like. We have "installed" six "Fatheads" on the walls of this home. We filled our game room with 400 balloons which was only knee deep. We have won and lost SuperBowls and NCAA basketball games at all hours of the night. Good times that will never be forgotten...
