So here we go. I've been so busy that I haven't even updated ya'll on our house hunt!!! I've tried to let as many people as I could in on it without OFFICIALLY announcing anything. (and by official I mean facebook status.)
So lets Back up the train...Tad and I were praying for the short sale would be the house for us. Or at least His will would be working in our hunt. Just let us know.
Fast-forward to a few weeks after that. Tad & I have been really wanting to purchase in a certain neighborhood (for its schools, respectability, lot sizes...etc) But it was just out of our price range. So then this house pops up in this area,( and not the fake part of the neighborhood... right in the heart of it) and its right at the price we were wanting. But because of our -*my* busy schedule, we couldn't plan a showing until the following Monday. But its a whole week... and houses have been flying off the "shelves" like same day...
Fast-forward to the next Monday. Earlier that day the seller of our short sale dropped out. THE SAME DAY we went to look at this house (Thank you Lord for hearing our prayers... you know me too well). This freed us to go to this showing with an open heart and really look at this house with intent. We could look at each room and think I COULD BE HERE... HERE. and we did.
In no particular order here's some awesomeness of the house:
Awesomeness #1 - It has a HUGE lot!! I have a giant (for Bako) pine tree growing in my lot, and three or four oaks. I can plant my very own Michelle Obama Garden!
Awesomeness #2 - It has a gas stove. Thank GOD! I am two unevenly fried eggs away from tossing my electric stove outta the window
Awesomeness #3 - Super quiet area - I no longer get to hear gosford's traffic and street racers all night long.
Awesomeness #4 - All the walls have been freshly painted so I can go in with a blank slate!!!
Awesomeness #5 - its a regular ol' sale. Not a short sale/bank owned property - So no one stealing baseboard or stoves, or crappy dead landscape.
Awesomeness #6 - It's OURS. Come December 11th when escrow closes We will own our own house. home. God is good.
