Just how fast things have changed

So, I've gone back through the posts from the last month or so to see just how quickly things went from us feeling a little cramped to getting an offer on our house and putting an offer on a new house.
From what I can tell, somewhere around 2 Jan is when things became a little serious, my wife wanted a desk that should could do some studying at and I signed off that day's post with "time for a bigger house".
The two weeks after that we did a lot of looking around and a fair bit of research into extending our current house. We came to the conclusion that we would have to move to get the space we wanted and that doing an extension was probably not affordable for us at the moment. 
In the following two weeks we talked to a couple of real estate agents about putting the house on the market and were about to sign one of them up when we received and accepted an offer on our house. In the same period I took the kids camping for a couple of nights and started some of the preparation work needed to sell the house.
A week or so of figuring out if we should or even could build a new home resulted in us realising that we didn't have the time to build so we looked a few properties and talked to everyone we could to see what was currently for sale and what may be coming onto the market shortly. We only ended up with a few candidates and instead of waiting to see if something better came on the market or if we'd have to move in with my Dad for a while, we made an offer on a place.

02 Jan - Think about moving
07 Jan - loving it, or listing it?
15 Jan - listing it
21 Jan - house hunting begins
25 Jan - accepted an offer for our house
02 Feb - put an offer in on a new house
03 Feb - our offer accepted

Basically one month from just talking about moving to putting an offer in on a new place with only contract exchange and settlement left to organise. Good price for our old house, reasonable price for our new house. How crazy is that. If anyone had told me on New Years day that we'd be moving into a new house in March I would have laughed at them. You often hear of people who can't find what they want and have been looking for months, or can't sell their house for whatever reason and end up with two mortgages with both houses about to be foreclosed. Sure, nothing is guaranteed at the moment and things could still go wrong, but it's almost like it's meant to be and everything is working together to make sure this all happens.
I never win at raffles, I can't think of the last time that I won anything or had what others would call a run of good luck. I just have the most unbelievable selling and buying and moving experience I think that anyone could ask for.
