PENDING!
Something very exciting happened on Friday. Our house went under contract! There was not much activity on the house for a good month and then all of a sudden there was a surge of interest, and one of them stuck. So we are very excited and the closing date is supposed to be early October. Though, we are aware that “stuff happens”.
Why are we selling our house?
The main reason is because Mrs. Kraus is interested in finishing up her 4 year college degree at some point. We thought that would be immediately after the house sold, but now she loves her full time job so much that I’m not sure exactly when that will be. One thing is certain though. Without Mrs. Kraus working full time it would be very difficult to afford our current house. Before we got married I had 2 roommates to help. And it’s ok that they are gone because my wife helps now. But to lose all help and take on college bills would be trouble. At any rate, we will be better positioned now for when she wants to go back. We’ll either buy something smaller, or rent.
Thanks to all the friends and family that prayed for us regarding the house. Mrs. Kraus and I ultimately desire one thing above everything else. And that is for God’s will to be done in our lives. We want to live where He wants us to live. If that is our current home, great. We enjoy living here. If it’s somewhere else, then we are excited to see where that is!

WOW! Sarah called me last night with the news that you have an offer for your house. I know that you put a lot of landscaping in this year to make it more attractive. I’m excited to see what God has planned for you in the next months—Jeremiah 29:11 Carol
