Best Phone Call Ever!

 Yesterday morning my cell phone rang and it was a call from our realtor who is helping us sell our home here in Lancaster. He gave us the great news that our counter-offer was accepted by a potential buyer. Yes!!! Our house is sold!!! The sale price was set at $1,100,000. The offer we received was $990,000. We counter-offered at $1,060,000 and it was accepted. Oh happy day!

We have lived in this house for 28 years now. That's a long time. We love this house. It is going to be very difficult to say goodbye to it. It was designed by my brother-in-law, Scott Bleak, who is now a retired architect who used to design temples for the church. He is very talented and very skilled at what he does.

The sale of our home is actually contingent upon the sale of the buyer's home not falling through. If all goes well with this sale, we will need to be out of our house by April 14th. That's just 6 weeks from now! That doesn't give us much time to prepare for the move, but we are just happy that the house is sold. We still haven't purchased a home in Utah, so all of our belongings will need to go into storage for a period of time. We are hoping to find the right home for us soon, but inventory is limited and there are multiple buyers for each home. Crazy hard to be the "bidding war winner." But I know that the Lord will watch out for us and we will be able to find a home soon.

Things I will miss the most about this home:


The pool


The back yard

The large master shower with two shower heads


The front yard


The large laundry/sewing room



The large Master Bedroom

Although we love this home and wish we could transplant it somewhere in Utah, we are happy it is sold and we will soon be free to start enjoying our retirement in Utah closer to family.

UPDATE: On March 7th, we received a phone call that the sale of our home fell through. It was a contingency sale, meaning that it depended upon our buyer's home selling. Everything looked good for her sale. They were well into the process, but then the buyer withdrew for some reason. That move made our sale fall through. So sad about this!
