New House






The biggest development in Waldroup World is that we are buying a new house...tomorrow. We found a great deal on a house in Copperfield subdivision. It's just outside Man O' War between Harrodsburg and Nicholasville Roads off Clays Mill Extended. It's right in the area where we wanted to be...close to Porter, my parents and closer to Andy's job at UK. It is a bank owned foreclosure. The bank bought it back at auction and installed new carpet, new appliances and painted. We had a full home inspection without anything to report, which was a huge surprise to me who expected at least a few substantial fixes to be required.

We will begin moving a few things over soon, but with an open house at our present home in less than two weeks, I didn't feel like we could be completely out by then. So, we'll be moving sometime after that...mid to late January. We're excited about the new house and feel very blessed to have found it and be able to move gradually.

We have not sold our present home, though about half of those who have visited have really liked the house (or at least that's what their realtor's say), and we feel fairly confident that we'll be able to sell it in the spring. However, we realize that with the market going up and down, we are certainly emotionally and financially prepared for a longer wait. We feel like God will provide the right buyer in His timing.
