Our New House!


I have an interesting story to tell titled "We Bought our First Home!". You read that correctly...we bought a house!
Adam and I have been crazy-online-house hunters for the past few months knowing that we would be searching for a home in April. We've had fun picking out our top favorites and figuring out what would be within our budget. One goal we had was to find a really great deal! Over the past several weeks we've been watching all of our home favorites (all really great deals) begin to sell like hot donuts. (Yumm...don't donuts sound good now?) We had our eye on 3011 Deland Dr as one of our favorites and then on Thursday the price was lowered! We knew that it would most likely sell since it had become a wonderful deal. We talked to our realtor and sent our parents through the home to take pictures. Don't forget that we are doing this all from our apt in NC! We are scheduled to visit IN on April 18th for a week but we were worried that the home would sell before we could look at it. I'm so glad we jumped on it, because once we decided that it was too good to wait on, we learned that another offer had already been made on the home. Not to bore you with details, but we made a better offer and got the home for an unbelievable price...and we haven't even seen it in person yet!!! =) Most people are probably calling us nuts, but if you knew how much research and time we spent on looking then you'd know we are happy, happy, happy with the result! Now when we visit, we get to look at OUR home instead of looking for a home. It's on a wonderful, large lot with a nice fence and a pond! I picture Graham and Adam fishing down there in a few years. =) We prayed and prayed that God would either bless this crazy offer and allow it to go through or to slam the door if this wasn't the house for us. Thank God for answered prayers!
