Housing update December 2025

If you have been sleeping under a rock, you might have missed that we are moving again! Our house has been on the market since the end of May. We were under contract in two days. We were actively house hunting, but then the buyer had "a change of heart" and backed out. We stopped packing and stopped looking for a house. Fast forward until around August, and our house went back under contract. I started packing again, and we stared looking for a house again.

My Year in Pictures November 2025

November went fast! And December is getting away from me as well. 

I first saw this idea on Jennifer's blog and thought it was a great idea. The idea is to pick one photo from the month, a photo to highlight the month. Jennifer is using the photo to recap the month and at the end of the year see a recap of the year. 

Share Four Somethings November 2025

Once again the end of a month has snuck up on me. I am sure at this point no one is surprised, LOL! Our house officially sold this month (praise God) and we close on December 16th. This has added another level of busyness to our already busy year. I am looking forward to being settled again soon (when we find another place!). (started this post in November and now it's 12/5) Our prompts for the Share Four Somethings link-up are some things we loved, somethings we learned, some things that went well, and some things we let go of. We are linking up with Jennifer! 

Thursday Encouragement 11/20/25

It has been a long week! I am thankful it is Wednesday and the weekend is in sight! Our house is officially sold, with all the obstacles removed and we will be closing in a few short weeks. We have looked at 8 houses so far this week, in between working and going our regular things. While we are ready to find our next new home, we are trying not to rush into anything.

We had snow for the first time this season. I was not ready, but it was pretty! We still have a little snow on the ground, but each day has been progressively getting warmer, so it will be gone soon. If you are following along on the house saga, we are officially under contract again, but they still have to sell their house. We are praying that their house sells and they fulfill the contract to buy ours, and that God would provide the right house for us, in His timing.

October went fast! And I feel like November is starting to get away from me as well.

Thursday Encouragement 11/6/2025

This has been an incredibly long week...one more day, I think we can. We have had five showings in three days. It has been exhausting but we are so thankful there is interest in our house. We got an offer yesterday and another today, so we are praying about our options and trying to decide the best way to go. Both people still need to sell their house, which makes it sticky situations.
