I am really getting excited about my new house. It has been so amazing to watch what God is doing through this. We've wanted to move for quite a while and just didn't think it would work out and every time we'd look into it, everything just fell apart. We'd pray about it and then get a peace that it just wasn't time yet. So we'd be content to stay put. Then in the fall a few things happened unexpectedly that indicated it might just be time to look again. AND this time, let me tell you, God just seems to be swinging the doors wide open. So here are pics of the new house front and back.
And here's a glimpse of the packing process at the old house. OH MY so much to do!!!
We are scheduled to close on Jan 22 and the seller's had requested 2 days after close to move out. So we decided to put in a new kitchen floor, countertops, and paint a couple of rooms that had wall paper on them before moving in. So I requested an appointment to take a couple of people to the house to get quotes on some of that work on Saturday. When we arrived the sellers indicated that they are moving out this coming Wed and Thurs and would be interested in moving the closing up. The mortgage banker met me at my office to get one final (we think) requested piece of documentation on the loan later on Saturday. She thinks she can have everything ready to close by this Friday!!!! The most interesting thing is that when we were writing up the contract, and the realtor asked when we wanted to close, I requested the 15th. He persuaded me to give it a full 30 days which was one more week. I just got so excited! God has shown Himself so very strong. Now I have even more to get done this week. With the kitchen and bathroom work, we'll probably still not be living in the house fully until near Feb 1. But we can start taking some things and getting it in place.
