SO, we are probably moving and selling our house as early as February 1st, 2012. It is very nerve racking and sad to leave our beautiful home. It goes on the market next week after Christmas. Ben was promoted / transferred to Midland, Texas.
(as long as Ben's contract/promotion letter arrives to be signed)
Some houses in this area sell in as soon as a week. (highly desired location) But it could take longer in which case I don't know what I'm going to do. We have a few options.
Option A: Ben starts work Feb 1st as they would like and Evelyn, Hank and I stay with the house. (keep it clean for showings BOOO!)
Option B: We move all our stuff in storage, drop Hank off in Bertram and get temporary housing until we find a new house and sell ours. Get to Midland by Feb 1st and wait up to 60 days. After 60 days Ben's company will buy our house.
Option C: Ben delays his start date in Midland to stay with me and the house. (my preferred choice, but not the company)
I knew this day would come, however West Texas is a shock. I JUST FINISHED MY LIVING ROOM PROJECT! I have spent a few months getting the front living room just right, and planing her playroom/classroom in the back. I am falling more and more in love with my little house. So even with the knowledge that oil industries typically move their employees I am still in shock.
Here are our house for sale pictures.

Taking pictures of every room spotless is really really hard. Keeping it clean enough for showings will be even harder. Please pray that a family will love this house as much as we have. And pray they fall in love with it quick. It needs somebody to love it because I sure am going to miss our first house. I know God has a plan, and that our new house will be just as great, but it is just really sad to leave the house where our family started.
