It's sold! Well, hopefully if nothing falls through, we have a contract after just 3 weeks on the market! We are so excited! I'm giving all the glory to God (and my good taste in decorating)! Ha! No, really. I asked for prayers one night in ladies' Bible class for our house to sell quickly, and we got an offer the very next day. We did some negotiating with those people, but it didn't work out. I had a bad feeling that we hadn't let God take care of us. The story of the guy in the flood on the roof popped in my head. He turns away a rescuer in a boat, a helicopter, etc. waiting on God to save him. He dies, and when he gets to Heaven he asks God why he wasn't saved. And God says, "I tried to save you!" So, when we got our second offer last week, we didn't let it pass us by. It gives us such peace of mind as we are moving out next week! It will feel great to go down and immediately start looking for a house and not feel stuck. We will only be in an apartment as long as it takes for us to close on our house and find one to buy. So, if you have been praying for us, thank you! Moving is stressful, and I hate the financial part of it. It's so hard to know if you're doing the right thing. I pray about it, but I feel like so much of our life is "excess" that I shouldn't even bother God about it. We're more than taken care of, so why should we get stressed about any of it? And I'm trying not to stress, but please keep the prayers coming! We still have a long way to go in the process. I took some pictures of the house, so we could remember it. While we are thrilled it has sold, but it will be sad to leave. I love this house! Mary Ella came home to this house as a newborn and has grown into a busy, bouncing toddler here. I feel like we could have lived in it forever and never tired of it. Thank you God for blessing us as we moved here, and as we leave!

We really enjoyed looking out these back windows. We had all kinds of wildlife come to our fountain.

Guest room downstairs- We had lots of visitors stay here. So many, that it became known as Hotel Harriman. :)

This space in the bonus room was going to be Mary Ella's playroom. I was planning on putting it together after Christmas. She's getting a kitchen and table and chairs...sure hope we have a playroom in the new house!
Awesome closet next to play area...this will be hard to replace!

Mary Ella's room
Mary Ella's room is my favorite! I think it was meant to be an office, but it was the perfect nursery. It's a great size and right next to our bedroom. A few steps away from the baby has been just perfect!
And we're sad to leave these behind...plantation shutters. They're beautiful! Her room is on the front of the house, and it has this big wall of windows, so they were perfect! Wish we could afford to have them on every window, but that would definitely be "excessive!" Love them though! Hope you enjoyed the tour of Hotel Harriman!

The L.R. house was beautiful...but all your houses have been beautiful! I'm sure you'll find the perfect home in Madison again! Love you & I'll be praying for you!
