We know there are a number of you that already know that we were planning on selling our home. But, for others this may come as a surprise!!! This decision comes after much prayer and consideration. There have been a number of things weighing on our minds about the current house and situation we're in. These decisions have been very difficult and stressful. We have been worried about two primary things.
- The time it takes me to get to and from work and how would I get home fast enough if there ever was an emergency.
- We have also been stuck in a high interest rate since the day we purchased the home. And until this year we’ve had Zero or even negative equity since the market crash in 2008 making it impossible to refinance.
Therefore, we have decided to sell our home to get out of the HIGH interest rate and get my family closer to my work in Lehi so I can get to my family quicker if any emergency were to arise.
If you know anyone looking for a beautiful home have a look.
We have greatly enjoyed living in the area we’ve been in for the last 9 years. There have been so many relationships we’ve made over the years that can never be replaced. We absolutely love our neighbors!!! There have been so many come to our aid in some of our darkest hours. You’ve helped clean our home when Lilly was first diagnosed; you’ve provided meals, spent time at the hospital, and provided spiritual strength when we needed it most. You all can never be fully thanked enough for your time, love, and compassion.
A few years before Lilly’s diagnosis we became very close to the Spray family and increasingly so since. They have been there in so many helpful ways. To watch our dogs on just a whim when we rush Lilly to the ER, or when Lilly spends several weeks in ICS because she’s been admitted. But, it goes way beyond just that; they have been a shoulder to cry on, strength to lean on, and forever part of our family. My girls love and adore Zac, Sydnee, and Ethan. My girls look up to these special kids as mentors with aspirations of being just like them. We never fail to see either Emery or Lilly trying to shoot a basket ball with the boys into a hoop that is 3 times higher than they are tall, being brave enough to pet the guinea pigs, or see them wanting to be all grown up like Sydnee. It’s been just this year that Emery has come out of her shell enough to yell off the deck “Hi Ryan, Hi Jenny” in her petite little voice. And she won’t stop until they respond. We love this family immensely!!!
Sydnee has always been so wonderful to my girls. She would just stop in to read books or play games with Lilly and Emery.
We stand in need of giving thanks to so many kind people that have entered our lives over these past 9 years. May you know just how special you all have been to me, my wife, Lilly, and to Emery.
It may be stressful and difficult for you to come up with the decision to sell your house, but at least it is seemingly the perfect solution to your problems about high interest and the time you spend to office and back to home. Let's just hope that you’ll get a good deal from it soon, and that you’ll have beautiful new home and life in Lehi. I'll be glad to hear from you about this, Jay! :)
