It's final! It's ours!!!

We are grateful and relieved to announce that we finally closed on this house today! After the two huge stacks of papers were signed, our realtor Dave looked at us and said, "you can be certain now!" Yeah!!! Honestly, I think I've been in the "hold it loosely" state for the past few months and it still hasn't quite hit me yet that we are owners of this house.

Just as we learned this past Sunday at church about how the Lord is more concerned about our spiritual well being then bricks and mortar, that was the case with this house for sure! The home buying process was a roller coaster ride (it was a short sale) and God created plentiful opportunities to pray and seek to trust him. We are grateful that God didn't want to just bless us with a house, but wanted to help us remember what is most important in our lives and to pray for His will in all this.

The house does need some significant work but we're excited to get started! Thanks to all those that prayed with us! We'll try to get some before and after pictures of the house soon! Now on with the demo work!!!
