We are so excited....just waiting for Bank commitment letter...but they don't for-see any issues..... Contractor is going through right after closing to fix any and all peeling, chipping paint, and put a new stove in.

We were so heart broken two years ago, when we had put an offer in on a house, and Rick got laid off.......so we lost it.......I told myself it just wasn't in God's plan, that he had something better in mind.....

He sure did! This is twice the house the other one was! My parents live next door, and the kids elementary school is 4 blocks away!

So exciting! It's such a cool house. And having your parents live next door? How great for the kids (and you :))!

Wow, you've got enough bedrooms to open a B & B here! It looks beautiful. I love the personality of a home that doesn't look like the next six down the block! You've got a gem from the looks of it!

Congratulations to you all!!!!! That is so exciting!!! We, too, were hoping to move this summer (it's just an amazing time to buy), but we would have to take a loss on our current home and that's just not worth it right now.

Thanks for your comment on my photography blog. I popped over here for a quick look and I want your new house. I love old sprawling homes.

Hi Lindsay!

Congrats on the house!!! I'm SO excited for you!! :) How is everything else going? How's the photo biz? I'm so overwhelmed with my new teaching job...I have had many moments where I want to just QUIT! Ugh. But...I'm going to stick it out. At least for this school year :) Dealing with high school kids doesn't seem to be my forte. It's insane.
Mark still hasn't found a job...so it's getting a little scary. Just trusting God that He will provide--as always!
I miss talking/writing with you! I'm not doing much with photography...except last week, I did a shoot for a dentist office for their website :) I have a family shoot next Saturday too.
Talk to you later!
Show more pics of the house after you get settled--it's so cute!!
Bethany :)

How exciting and what a BIG house. We were in the same situation as you were it sounds like. A year ago all ready to buy a property and then lay offs. Ick. This June we bought our first home and it's 3 bedrooms and home to us.
