A Home

We have a new home!!!
Hallelujah!
And we get possesion in 27 days.
We have been living with my grandparents for the last 2 months and are more than ready to be in our own space again. My grandparents have been amazing, and we are so thankful for their hospitality, as it was stressful enough the last two months. I can't imagine doing it living in a hotel, or an RV, or worse - the in-laws! :) (only because their house is full, not because they are hard people to live with!)
It took a long time for us to find a home, we viewed over 20. But our amazing Realtor booked us a showing to the winning house without even telling us. It had just came on that day and was underpriced - so rare in hot market Moose Jaw has. (even though the last 2 months has seen significant declines in purchase, sellers still have not accepted the market is cooling off, and were over pricing, even though homes were not selling.) So we knew we had to move fast. We viewed it twice, and after a few counter offers, we got it!
We are thankful we hit the market at a softer time, got a wonderful home that we won't grow out of anytime soon, and that we can put our magic touch on and make some money on when we do sell.
The Lord has always been faithful when it comes to providing the perfect home for us at the perfect time. And once again He did it!
The things I love about our new home:
*backyard looks over a wheat field - which has a path running along the edge for evening walks.
*the fireplace
*the ensuite bathroom
*closets, closets, and more closets
*BIG bedrooms,
*finished basement with lots of storage room and living space
*little walls that will be perfect for me to finally experiment with bold wallpaper
