Good Things Come to Those Who Wait

It might be premature to share... but not as premature as it would have been had I shared a week ago. After looking at tons of houses, we had settled on one. But another one had our hearts. After trying every which way, God closed the door on that home--- plain and simple we just couldn't afford it. Yet, the original house we had settled on just didn't feel like the right one either. Then our good friend Beth shared a link to a home-- just last night-- that seemed perfect for us.

So today John went and looked at it. And it has so many pros--- and pretty much seems perfect for our family. Darker colored carpet, double ovens, place for our big table, larger lot, on a cul-de-sac--- and so many other things. The biggest thing being--- it is the lowest priced house we have considered. How awesome is that?

I think this is it.

John thinks it is it.

Tonight we are both going to pray about it and if we have peace we are planning on moving forward.

Hope-- I wasn't premature in sharing because I think I would be bummed if it didn't pan out.

P.S. I wrote this post last night. I did not post it because I wanted to be sure. Sure that I was at peace with this home, this town, this new place we will soon define as where we live. Well, both John and I feel really good about this home and are moving forward to buy it. He is driving out there to get a real sense of what his commute will be. John will be dropping off a cashier's check and picking up the documents.

I guess there is no turning back now. :)
