After our contract fell through in January, we had to make a HUGE decision. We couldn't place a contigency on our new house, so we had to either walk away, or build the house in hopes that we sell ours by May. This was such a big decision! We prayed and waited for answers and we both felt that taking the step out in faith was what we needed to do. We bere both confident that God had His hands on this whole situation and we had to show our faith! There was a lot of money on the line, but we knew we were in His hands. At the end of March, we got a contract on our house!! That week we actually had 2 offers and 1 other person say that if we didn't sell, they would give us an offer. What a relief!! We didn't try to get excited about the house the whole time, because we didn't know if it was really going to happen. The week before the offer we went to check on the lot - and the above picture is what we saw!! Holy Moly our house has walls!!! Wow! So now we are set to close on May 12th (lots of prayers here for everything to go smoothly) and our new house is done being built on May 18th! Praise the Lord - Perfect timing! So needless to say,, we are more than excited to begin this new adventure! The kids are so excited too. They have been praying for our house with stairs for 2 years! We have been to the house just about every week since the offer and the kids absolutely love going to see it! We all get so excited to see the progress. Here are some pictures of our trips:
The front door! Welcome to our home!
The tractor thingy that is digging our septic lines!
The girls on the front porch!
Can you sense their excitement?!
3 car garage and the siding was put on (not the right color though - getting painted)
Cabinets were in this week!! I can't wait to get my new pantry!!! Yahoo - space!!!! This week are the hardwoods - I just want to jump up and down!!
