PRAISE GOD For all He provides!!! We found and have had our bid accepted on a house!! It was the most complete house for what we wanted in a great neighborhood. I really wanted a house that had all the bedrooms downstairs as I'm sorta tired of hauling baskets of laundry up--these granny legs aren't what they use to be--lol!! John got the three car garage he wanted too!
The best thing of all is that we should be closing on our wedding anniversary! Now that is the best anniversary gift ever!

House shopping!!!!!!
I am over the moon with excitement about going house hunting!! I never thought we would be at this point again with all that has taken place. I could not have known we would be going through all we did well over a year ago when we finally just picked up and moved form the Wagoner house but GOD HAS BEEN FAITHFUL THROUGH IT ALL EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HAD WEAK MOMENTS!
The funny thing about things having taken as long as they have is that John and I both have a greater understanding of what exactly we do want--things that seemed so important 1 and 2 years ago no longer matter. Our family size has shrunk so we don't need as much space as we thought and living with some features that we thought we would just love has turned out for me to be things I really could live without ( like hauling laundry up and down stairs--ugh!!).
God has been so faithful to listen to me whine and complain about this and that and of course He has also had some times in which HE needed to remind me that my place in life is to grow where I'm planted which was not what I really wanted to do a lot of the time. Through all of this I have mastered the art of appreciation in ways I never had before and so I would gladly go through all of the past again just to have that valuable lesson learned.
We have a short list of about 7 houses to go see --so far none stood out as something we were head over heals about but I think that is because we have come to value the love that goes into making a house a home and not just the outside structure. I really believe with all my heart I can be happy with whatever house we do end of buying ( even if I have to spend the next 16 years hauling laundry upstairs-lol!!).I'm ready to bloom where God wants us planted and enjoy the growing season.

They want the HOUSE!!!!
Praise GOD the very thing that I prayed for is coming to pass!!! We have new people who WANT THE WAGONER HOUSE!!!! In fact they wanted it so much they kept calling and calling trying to get us to just lease it out but when we said we wanted to sell it out right they went and found a way to buy it!!!! We did let them 'rent it' while the paperwork goes through and all but fully expect to have it in their name ASAP!!!
I prayed God would send a woman who would love that house and want it so much she was giddy with joy and that is exactly what she is. The husband and wife are beside themself that they have this house and it is EXACTLY what they were praying for!!!!
So glad and thankful that my GOD has never forgotten me and is always abounding toward me with good things!! IT is He who gets the glory of that house ( and His kingdom that will receive the tithe of the sale!!)
THANK YOU LOVING FATHER FOR SENDING THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND PRAISE YOU FOR THE FAVOR THEY HAVE WITH THE CREDIT COMPANY TO COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION!!!!
