So let me give you the short story

It has been  a whirlwind around here since Feb. 26th.   We traveled to Miami the weekend of Feb. 24th.  While in Miami we received an offer for the purchase of our home in NC.  Is that God or what?  We put a sign up about 3-4 weeks before and did not hire a realtor.  Since we recently purchased our home we thought this may be the way to lose the least amount of money.  Well God is bigger than all of my worries and he brought us an offer (we are losing some money but definitely not as bad as it could have been).  The catch was that we would have to move by March 30.  the new owners need to take ownership on march 30th and we have a contract at the school till June 1st.  It is a great dilemma nevertheless it is a dilemma.  So have been busy packing everything we want and selling everything we don't want or wont have room for.  We found a corporate rental that we will live in for 2 months prior to moving to Miami.  God opened the doors for a rental in Miami (right across the street from the school) at a VERY affordable price.  This will allow us to save money up for a down payment for an overpriced, micro-sized house in Miami.
I am slowly getting used to the idea of Miami living.  However I am going, going, going!.  packing 3500sf and trying to fit in 1500SF is going to be quite the challenge, hence the daily selling on Craigslist.
I am actually ok with all the selling i have been doing.  I feel like I am simplifying our life every time i get rid of something in our home.   so here is the plan
march13-26: cheer practice, travel to myrtle beach for cheer competition, volunteer at school for kids class, pack, monogram end of year gifts, organize taxes and file taxes, meet with builder to fix things covered by warranty,  try to work somewhere in here (don't think i will be able to), pack, pack, pack
March 27:  UPAK trailer arrives and movers load everything we aren't taking to the corporate rental with us.
march 30: close on the sale of our home and move into Temp. rental in Raleigh
april1-June 1:  enjoy the last 2 months we have in Raleigh.  i will definitely try to catch up on work during this time.  we will travel to Miami for Easter and spring break.
JUNE 2:  MOVE to Miami!!!!


THANK YOU LORD for your provision, your peace and your omniscience.
