Buying & Selling

Not only is our house here under contract, but today we went under contract on a house in Spur. For those of you who live in Spur and are wondering which house we are buying, it is Ms. Ennis's old house on the corner of 1st and Willard. Spur is a small town populated 1,000, so everyone knows everyone. We will be neighbors to the Baptist preacher and his family, the highway patrolman, & another family with kids the same age as our kids.

The sellers just advertised it on Thursday and we bought it today. Man, ours took 8 months to sell and theirs only 1 day. Reason is that there is absolutely nothing available in Spur, so when it comes along, you better grab it quick. The other absurd thing about this deal is that we bought it without actually looking at the house. My parents went over to the house yesterday and took pictures and sent them to me! Scarrrrry huh! It is an old house that will need some work but nothing in Spur doesn't need work.

Such exciting times.

Congrats! It will be good to have you closer! I bet between your Dad and Romeo, they can tackle the needs of the house! Love, Meg

I'm so glad you finally got a buyer for your house and found one in Spur. I wish we would get a buyer for our house, too. I guess it will happen if or when God intends it to.
