Having A Garage Sale While On The Phone With Lenders


Today was the first day of our garage sale... I did pretty well. We made about $175. Not too bad for a Friday. Maybe we will get more people tomorrow but I am honestly happy with the $175! I still have a TON of stuff to sell...

TJ stayed home from work today to help me with the kids and because he already took the day off because we were supposed to close on the house today. So it was great he was home... AND my sweet friend, Emily, came over so the girls could play. Emily is 9 months pregnant... could go into labor at any moment, and was so sweet to come keep Karoline entertained!

As far as the house goes, we have options... TJ and I have been on the phone ALL DAY! Bank of America is trying to get a loan approval through another lender and we are also meeting with a mortgage broker tomorrow to have a back up. We also have an amazing offer though Quicken Loans... so we have options. Everyone CANNOT believe we didn't get the first loan. SO KEEP PRAYING!!!! We are trusting God and KNOW HE has a bigger plan for our family!

Also, my mom is stuck in Denver, CO trying to get here. So she is supposed to arrive at 2:30AM! NO FUN for her! Anyway... here are some pictures from today! Between my yard sale and being on the phone ALL day with loan people, I am beyond tired!! I might even go to bed before midnight tonight!

Karoline and Avery having fun together...


TJ got yogurt on Anderson's head during dinner tonight... it was pretty funny!

Way to go on the garage sale! I bet it feels good too, to get rid of all that stuff. It's amazing how we accumulate things over time, isn't it. Hope your mom finally got in. I know you'll be glad for the extra set of hands. So glad to hear you still have some loan options too! I know this has all been so up and down, but I really hope it works out for you.

Beth I am praying for the loan stuff to work itself out! I wish I could have come to your garage sale! Looks like you had fun stuff! Have you ever sold anything on EBay? I haven't tried it but my sister does it all the time. You might be able make some money off stuff you didn't sell this weekend.

Praise the Lord. I knew new doors would open with even better options for your home. Glad to hear your garage sale went well on Friday. The best thing is getting STUFF OUT and making room. Took mother to Central on Sunday and she glowed like a new penny. She sat down at the piano at Covenant Woods last week and played for about 15 minutes & blew them away. Hugs & hugs.
