Yesterday we put an offer in on a house... and we are so, so excited about it!
Everything happened faster than we expected. David said something that was so true about a week ago - "Just like when you are looking for a puppy, don't look for a house until you are ready to buy one." It was crazy how quickly we went from having no idea what we wanted to narrowing things down to exactly what we wanted. Before the whole experience David and I made a "must have", "nice to have" and "bonus" list of qualities. This house has all of our must and nice-to haves, and 3/4 of our bonus things!
It hasn't all been easy (although it has been pretty easy), and I know the process isn't finished yet. We found another house earlier on that we like A LOT, but it sold before we were comfortable enough to make any kind of offer. After that we felt a little defeated - you spend time telling yourself why a house will be perfect and then someone else buys it! But looking back we would have made compromises with that house that I think we would have regretted.
We know God has a house picked out just for us, and as much as we hope it is this one, if it isn't we trust that there is a reason. We feel so blessed to have the opportunity to be looking for our own home for our little family, and it is incredible to start to picture our lives together in this home.
I promise to keep you updated! And your thoughts and prayers for a smooth process would be so appreciated.
