What's going on?

Dear Diary,

We've had an exciting few days. OK, maybe not extraordinarily exciting but more exciting than usual.
First off, a bit of bad news. On Saturday we learned that our tenants in our house in Larne are leaving in 60 days. That is a big concern because as of January we will be responsible for rent here in Colorado and our mortgage on the house. That is alot of financial responsibility and we are quite anxious to either rent it out again or preferrably sell it.
Which leads me to the second bit of news. On Tuesday morning we received an email from our agent in Larne that one of the tenants wants to buy the house but the offer was VERY low. We know the housing market is less than stellar at the moment but honestly, the offer was almost insulting. We counter offered back but at this moment we have yet to hear back. I'm assuming it's not good news but I am trying to remain optimistic and patient. Please pray for me, patience does not come easily! The plan at the moment is give them another day to come back to us with either a Yes, we accept your counter offer, or No we don't accept. We're hoping there is still room for negotiation if the answer is no otherwise we're making arrangements to list it again.
The third bit of news is that we are in the process of finally becoming members of Park Hill Presbyterian. Pastor Matthew came over for dinner on Monday evening to discuss this with us and last night we had a membership interview with the Session. We knew that it would go well but still in the pit of my stomach, I worry about things. We will be accepted as members as soon as the paperwork from Gardenmore is received and then during a service we will make our membership vows in front of the congregation. It's exciting for us. Although we have always felt like members at Park Hill, now it will be official.
Finding a church like Park Hill is an answer to our prayers and we believe that God has a plan to use us here. We are also very grateful for the members at Park Hill. They have embraced us into their fellowship right from day one. It's funny how on Sundays I don't seem to see much of Isla either! She is usually being passed around from one person to another but she doesn't seem to mind.
So there you have it. I'm sitting on edge because we want the house sold but thankful the membership interview went so well. It's frustrating that it's been over 2 days and still no word on the offer but there is a 7 hour time difference so I am trying to be patient (Colin just goes with the flow). Please pray that the house is sold and we will have the financial burden lifted by January.
I've already had three cups of coffee and that is not helping my anxiety level either. Maybe I should switch to decaf, Colin has been talking to me about switching anyways!
'Til next time,
Heather, Colin & Isla
