God's Plan

As you know, we made an offer on a house at the first of December. We finally got a reply on Thursday. They came back at $18,000 MORE than the list price. Needless to say, we said no thank you (not those exact words, but I'm keeping it PG). Well God sure knows what He's doing, because we made an offer that same night on a foreclosure right down the street from the first house. I LOVE this house! Being a foreclosure, it has a few cosmetic issues, but the house is FABULOUS!!!! I got a call last night (less than 24 hours after we made the offer) and they ACCEPTED! We signed the contract and the ball is rolling. We will be home owners in 45 days or less. I cannot begin to tell y'all how relieved, thankful, and utterly blessed I feel to be in this exact place in our life. We are surrounded by the best group of family and friends, and I truly feel and see God working through every one of them. Thank you to all of you. We love you more than words can describe. Speaking of love, here are some pics of our new house...ENJOY!

The back patio

As I mentioned above, there are a few cosmetic things that we need to fix. Here they are, then we'll get to the good stuff, hehehe. The back door had a doggy door that was removed, so they put a board over the hole, ie Lucy is getting a new doggy door. We will also need to replace the deadboltPart of the transition piece on the floor between the living room and kitchen needs to be fixed. Those 2 things, along with painting 2 rooms (ours and Austyn's) and touching up the paint in the kitchen and living room are the only repairs that we have to do to this amazing house!!!

Now, here is everything that I LOVE...the list is long :)
This is the chandelier in the eat in kitchen...LOVE
