Our New Home


We signed and closed on our home yesterday. It was a fun new experience of signing a million and one documents! We are super excited and blessed that God opened the door for us to be able to move in the direction of buying a home this summer.

We started looking in the end of June and looked at quite a few each week but we just never felt like any of them were "the one." We continued to look and our real estate agent was great and kept shooting us more and more MLS listings to look at. Then one day, he shot us the listing for this home and we said, "Sure, let's go look at it." We weren't all that excited about it but it looked pretty cute from the pictures. We decided we would at least take a look at it.

Needless to say, once we walked through the home, we both looked at each other and it felt like "the one." What a strange feeling because I didn't think we would ever find that, but God knew! So here we are getting the keys to our home on the 3rd of August! Our lives have just gotten much more hectic now that we own a home as we have a fence to build, interior to paint, electrical to rewire, yard to maintain and a huge storage unit to move and empty! All before AJ goes back to work/school at the end of August! But we are excited and God is good!
At some point down the road, I will do a post with more pictures of the inside. Maybe something like a before and after post so you can see how we will transform the home into our home!
