Plan B isn't always worse than Plan A!

Well, our plan A house didn't work out. It was a good thing, and it definatly was a God thing. The Lord was and still is looking out for us! We decided to rescind our offer on the first house simply because we did not feel the other sides were being honest with us and we just felt like we were being "pushed around".

We are currently looking at our 2nd pick that is in the same neighborhood. We have an appointment to go to the house to meet with the sellers tomorrow afternoon. Please keep praying for guidence and wisdom through all this and that we ultimately make the right decision! Thank you all for all your support and prayers through this process, we could not do it without you!

More details to come....

A Diamond in the Ruff

Yes, it has been a very long time since I've posted, but I'm here now! Well, a lot of things have happened and we are very excited! Recently we found out our apartment rent was going up and Adam and I did not like that at all. We really didn't like the idea of renting and throwing our money away, so we decided to start looking for our first house. Monday, we sent an email to Adam's Uncle who's a realtor and by Friday we were looking at our first houses. Looking for a house can be very emotional! We thought we had found something Friday, but I wasn't completely sold on it (I didn't have that feeling), I also said that night that I really think there is a diamond in the rough out there somewhere and we had just not found it yet.

Saturday was a completely different story. We had a couple of houses to look at and the last house we looked at was a WINNER! Adam and I definatly had that feeling of "this is it" as soon as we walked in the front door. It is a beautiful remodeled home that is in a very established and appealing neighborhood. I believe that it is absolutly PERFECT for us. So, to make a long story short, we decided to make an offer on it because we knew it would be gone very fast! Come to find out, there was already an offer on it by other potential buyers. BUMMER! But, we decided to at least give it a chance and make an offer...well, Saturday night we faxed the offer in and we won't know until probably Monday afternoon if the sellers have accepted it or not. The other potential buyers could counter our offer in which case we would back out of it. This house is definately the "diamond in the ruff" I was talking about and Adam and I are praying hard that everything will work out to our advantage.

We also need all the prayer we can get because I truly believe in the power of prayer and everything that it can do. Please pray that if is God's will that we have this house we would continue to have the wisdom we need in making our decisions; if it is not His will, pray that He would clearly close the door and that we would understand. We definatly want Him to be glorified throughout this process and it is our promise that He will be glorified through everything we do and everything we have. We are very excited about all this and hopefully we will have some good news Monday or Tuesday! We'll see!

Happy 2008!

Well, this begins another year for us! It's hard to believe it's already 2008! This year has got a lot to prove to beat 2007! I mean, 2007 will be a hard year to beat...I graduated, Adam and I got married, started my first real job, had our first Thanksgiving/Christmas together as a married couple, etc. I do have high hopes for this year and look forward to the days ahead!

Off the subject, Adam bought him and I a devotional book to help us go through the bible. I was really excited when he showed it to me because it looks really good. Today I read about hope and Noah and the hope God sent Noah by when the dove brought back an olive branch to show there was land somewhere. It also gave examples of how we can be hope to others by living as Christ followers. I really gained more perspective of the "Noah and the Ark" story by kind of looking at in a different point of view. Just something to think about!
