No turning back now...

Well it is official now.  We signed a year contract with a Realtor so there is no turning back.

Here it is!

I am so nervous now.  We know what we want to do and we know that if everything goes as planned it will happen.  I think I am just scared of the unknown time, that time frame between selling our house and our new one being ready.  We have not decided on a firm plan for what we will do, and some of it depends on the time of year.  Our original plan was to stay in our camper on the lot we had found until our house was built, but due to covenants we aren't able to do that.  Now to decide if we try to park our camper somewhere else or just try and find somewhere to rent.  Where in the world are we going to find somewhere to rent with two dogs and a rabbit?  As a backup plan we have been looking at other houses and have decided that we do have lots of options, we just really have our hearts set on one specific place and house.

It is funny the realtor said that the average time a house is on the market is one year.  The last time someone told us the "average time" for something was when we were accepted by our adoption agency.  They told us the "average time for most placements was 7 to 9 months".  Two weeks later we got a call and were told we were going to be parents, that day!  I wonder if this "average time" will work the same way?
