The First House

As you can probably guess from the post, Jon and I have purchased our first home. Well sort of purchased our home, we haven't signed the final papers quite yet. As I sit here posting this though, I almost hesitate because things just seem too good to be true, and I am afraid something will go wrong and we won't end up owning the home. However, since things have gone wonderful so far, I believe that if the Lord didn't want us to own the home, he would have never allowed us to get this far. So anyways, here is the story of how we got this house.

Jon and I have been looking for houses for about a month, and we never found a house that we just loved. So one day we looked at this one house and we really really loved the street and the backyard, but the house itself was too small for us. We were really sad because we LOVED the area. We kept looking and found another house that had potential. However, I was hesitant and instead of jumping at the house, we decided to pray about it over the weekend and see where God would take us. Literally two days later, a new posting appeared and it was for a house that was on the same exact street of the area we loved. Immediately, tears starting forming in my eyes. I felt overwhelmed because I listened to my heart and decided to be patient and it paid off. I felt this overwhelming peace about this house. We called our realtor and set up the appointment to see the house the next day! So on Sunday morning we saw the house in the morning, put an offer on it in the afternoon, and they accepted it by the evening. I couldn't believe how everything happened so quickly.

Everything has gone amazingly well, that I just can't believe it. The sellers gave us all of the appliances as well as some extra money to fix some very small things. So as of right now we are waiting on a few more inspections to take place, and if that all goes well we will sign the papers in about a month or so. It is crazy how this has moved so quickly, and I just pray that everything continues to run smoothly.

I almost forgot to talk about the details of the house. It has three bedrooms, two full baths, a dining room, decent size kitchen and living room and a partially finished basement. The best thing however is the beautiful back yard. That is what made us fall in love with this place all together!! Ok, so as you can tell I am super excited about this place, and can't wait to move in and make it our own home!!
