In Suspense

So today's the day we find out about the house!

Actually, we found out on Tuesday that our offer was accepted. But--there is another offer in there ahead of us. Ours was accepted over theirs because theirs has a contingency (ours does not). They get 72 hours to think about whether they want to drop their contingency, and if they do--then theirs is the primary offer and they get the house. But if they don't, then our offer becomes primary and we get the house.

So I haven't started packing any boxes yet. (I've been too busy, anyway, what with cleaning and leaving our place all day for a realtor's open house, homeschooling, meeting with a friend, and Wicked.)

Our kids keep asking, "How many more hours?" So we asked our realtor/friend last night, and apparently the time actually extends to midnight of the third day. That means we'll still be in suspense until tomorrow morning!

Father Rooster and I figure that if they do drop the contingency and we lose the house, it'll be the Lord's doing--since it's very unlikely, their realtor says. So we're feeling peace about the outcome, either way.

Can't help feeling a bit impatient, though!
