It looks like decision time is gonna go down to the wire...
The couple that recently looked at our home for an hour and a half came back over the Memorial Day weekend to look at the house a second time...this time one of their mom's came with them! Apparently, our house is now #1 on their list of homes that they've looked at. Two out of the three people who gave our home a second look have made an offer. I guess they are now awaiting word from their lender regarding how much of a loan they can qualify for. I am cautiously optimistic...but more optimistic than cautious. Laura on the other hand has emotionally detached herself. I know I shouldn't jump the gun, but I've started looking at homes in PA again. May God's will be done. Stay tuned...

June 1st
"June 1st"...This is the catch phrase that Laura and I tell each other to summarizes our future plans. On June 1st, we will take our house off the market if it does not go into escrow.
I am reminded of that story in the New Testament when the apostle Paul was "hindered by the Holy Spirit" during one of his missionary journeys. I am still holding on to hope that a door will open, i.e. a buyer will step up and make a good offer before the June 1st deadline.
It's been almost a year since we started taking steps to relocate and we think that it is a good idea to set a deadline to have some certainty in where we are going to live and work. My employers here as well as my prospective employers in Pennsylvania know about our June 1st deadline and most of our families know about it as well. It is our hope that all who are directly involved will be understanding one way or another.
This is a good reminder that even though we plan and take steps, it is God who holds our lives in His hands and He will open and close doors according to His will. God allowed a prospective buyer to lose his job to prevent him him from buying our house! God even allowed for our next door neighbor (with the same driveway issues) to have his house go into escrow after only 3 weeks on the market! God is good to them...and to us as well. God works according to His own timetable and we definitely want to be in His program.
As the days get closer to June 1st, I am looking forward to the bright prospects ahead. (Ray)
