We're Movin' On

After several months of looking, multiple unsuccessful attempts, waiting for the right place with the right price, performing extensive repairs, and negotiating through five addendums, we are finally officially homeowners.   So we have begun the crazy process of moving... again.  
This whole crazy home-buying process has been an education, to say the least.  I feel like we have learned a lot about priorities, preferences, ideals, and reality.  Most importantly, we have learned to trust the Lord.  The house we just purchased is just around the corner from our current apartment.  We were told that it was for sale the day after we moved in.  Neither Ganon or I felt very strongly about it so we kept looking elsewhere.  Over a month later we felt like we should take a closer look at the place.  Amazingly, the price had dropped $15,000.  What a wonderful blessing.  While this house is not exactly our ideal, and it doesn't meet all of our preferences, we know it is the place for us to be right now in our lives.  We are excited about having our own place and all of the craziness that comes with it.  Thanks to all of you who have helped us (and will help us) get here.  We couldn't have done it without you.

Sorry no pics yet... we're too busy moving...  ;o)

    Well that is about as excited as I can get right now as I am about to retire to my little bed at about 8:30 pm. Temple trip in the early morning and as I don't like to nap in the Temple I best nap in my bed.
    Congratulations to our little family and what new adventures you have ahead. Lots of Love, Mom & Dad

  4. After just five years of marriage, marked by careful budgeting, you two put down significant savings to qualify, on your own, for your mortgage. We are proud of you.
    Nana would call your little home "cuter than a bug's ear". A feature that I really like is the completely fenced front, side and back yards. So important with your active children.
