Going once, going twice and...
SOLD to the first family who put an offer on the house! That is right our house was on the market for 6-7 days and we have sold it. What a great weight has been lifted off of our shoulders now. It's a good thing that we sold it, because someone went all over North Pole and took all of our For Sale By Owner signs...how nice was that??? We couldn't believe it. There was $200 down the drain, but apparently someone needed them more than we did, or may need their house to sell more than us....who knows! Rikk's theory is that it was a crazy realtor that came to "interview" for selling our house. She called on Tuesday to get our answer and we didn't answer and that evening is when the signs went missing. He says she seems kinda like a crazy ex-girlfriend that you break up with and then go outside and your tires are flattened!!! But we have sold our house and are now looking at rentals. We have one to go and look at tomorrow and many more to call. It is really hard to find a month to month. It would be nice if we could stay in our house and pay rent until we leave, but the family that bought it is Army and the husband leaves in a couple weeks for Iraq and want to get his family in and settled before he leaves...and believe me, that is TOTALLY understandable. I would hate for him to worry more about his family than he has to while he is gone. The only "sucky" thing is that the could had a realtor, so things ended up being a little more than we really wanted them to be, but not more than we thought they would be (does that make sense). We feel that we are truly blessed with our house selling as quickly as it has. Thank you all for keeping us and our house in your prayers.

Congrats! Sorry about the signs...lame. At least they took them down so you don't have to make the trip to do so :)
Best of luck with the rental. We do know of a cheap place to live in the 2nd ward...with great lighting... ;)
love you guys!
My parents would probably rent to you month to month if its just till January (they may be moving back in January). Nobody is in their house this winter. Send me a message on myspace if you want their number. BUUUuuuut, its in Fairbanks and thats quite a drive for Rikk if he has to work and stuff I assume.
Congrats on selling so quickly! Thats awesome!
