25 Day To Go

Here we are sitting in front of our new house. We are so excited to be moving in soon. The more we look at it the more in love we become with it.

Steve and his best friend Mike talking about the house and things that are coming up

Here we are in front of the SOLD sign of our house.

The view from one of the upstairs bedrooms. We didn't know about this beautiful view until today. The other days we looked at the house it was either raining or it was getting dark outside. Who could ask for a nicer view during the day.

29 DAYS AND COUNTING

A couple of weeks ago Steve and I applied for a pre-qualification on a house so we could start looking for something bigger. We were pre-qualified but were having a hard time deciding to buy or rent a bigger apartment. We looked at different apartments but they were either over priced or not what we were looking for. It seem God was closing every door to the apartments. Then this past Saturday Steve came home from work and had me look at an ad in the Ft Lewis Ranger about new homes that start at $180,000 and go up. So I called and talked with a guy there. We decided to go take a look at what they had with my parents. What we found surprised us. Of the 4 houses we looked at that day we found the one we liked. We made an offer and the builder countered our offer which we accepted.

Then this past Tuesday we went back, looked at the house one more time and then spent 2 hours signing the contract for the sale.

Today we went back again to sign all the paper work for the financing. Again 2 hours ding paper work. We will keep you posted on how it goes.

We are so excited and scared to buy our first home. It so obvious that God is opening this door for us because everything has happened so quickly. Our apartment has even been rented out to another person as soon as we move out of here.
