You guys. I am so excited to share that we FINALLY sold our house! We listed it for sale back in October, and closed on March 10! Not only did this knock out our mortgage, but we were also able to pay off our credit card! This is huge! That’s almost half of our debt! Now all we have left are student loans, and our car loan!

By selling our house, we also brought in enough for a down payment on our next home. We aren’t sure when we will be buying again, so for now, we saved back all buy $2,000 of our net so that we can have that money waiting for us when we are ready to buy or build a new home. 

I’m stuck in this weird place where I want to just jump up and get another house but also I want to just enjoy not having a mortgage. Currently, we live in a parsonage, free of charge or bills, and that is a huge blessing. However, we do know that eventually we will move on and most likely will need to look at getting another house. It’s really a waiting game right now.

I’m so thankful that God brought a buyer for our home. We know that He has laid it on our hearts as a couple to become debt free. I am grateful for all the He has provided for our family over the last few years. We have always been able to pay our bills on time, so we know that we will be ok regardless. I’m ready to start working on paying off our student loans now!
