Selling Our Home, Moving Into a New Home

We are in Autumn 2024 - currently sitting in Costa with my husband, my BBTS Specialist Certificate in Stem Cell Transplantation textbook in front of me and trying to have a minute to take it all in. To take life in.



We are awaiting completion of our house purchase in Biddick Hall, a nice three-bedroom home near the Metro station and only a few minutes' travel to our parent's place. At the same time, our home is on the market and is open for viewings. There are 11 scheduled today - just one week after the photos were taken by the estate agent. It hasn't sunk in yet that we are packing up and moving home... Probably because we haven't actually packed up yet or gotten the keys to our new home.



As much as I will miss my first ever home that I purchased, I am so glad to be doing all this with my husband. Here's to a great new chapter ahead of us and continuing to pray to be blessed with children. Today I feel happy, anxious, tired but calm. I am studying for my upcoming examinations and I am grateful to have a few days off from work. The plan was to use our annual leave next week to move, however, the purchase isn't complete yet so we are not able to. I am using this time off to study. Everything really happens for a reason. 

As I sit here waiting for the time when we have to get up and go to Mass, I feel grateful knowing I have a husband who truly cares for me. I was in the library earlier and he came up with a box of Ringtons tea because I ran out. I sometimes feel so overwhelmed with life in general but he keeps me grounded even when he doesn't know it. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for caring for me through my husband. I can never thank You enough.

We are hoping to get the keys soon and to have a smooth transition to our new life in South Shields. Hopefully the sale of our home goes well, too. Thank you to everyone who helps us even with just little pieces of advice or information about selling and buying houses.

Love,

R
