Fortunately, my heart is in many places. This weekend my heart started off in limbo, praying that our offer on a house would be accepted. I finalized the purchase of a house, via telephone, with Carey on one end and our realtor Mindy on the other. The day had finally arrived. Our condo sold and we had found a house we loved in a matter of a few days. Truly God's hand was in everything that was happening it couldn't be possible otherwise and although I worried and I asked many people for prayers, I just asked for God to guide us in this process and thanked Him at the same time for "our House." I just knew it was the right one for us. I had prayed for 2 1/2 years for the right buyer and the perfect house for us, what God's will for us would be and it just so happened that he taught me patience as everything fell into place with a new job and selling this condo, buying a new house and an unfortunate hospital trip with Dad. I'm amazed at how nervous and anxious I've been and at the same time very strong, patient and decisive all thing that I normally am not.
Thanks be to God. We will have a house we can grow into. I'm still in shock. I went to Houston this 4th of July weekend and the "owners" of our house were out of town also, but we managed to make a deal over the phone. Tomorrow we'll sign the necessary papers and meet with our mortgage guy to make sure everything is ready to go on our new house. I hate to jinx it but I wanted Mom and others to see it, so I've sent pics to a few people. I'm so proud to have a house and it has all the things that I wanted: driveway in the back of the house, a nice yard, big closet in the master bath, shower separate from the tub, and the kitchen and living room NOT on top of one another. I am excited to have Christmas at my house, sorry, OUR house. I can't wait to have Aidan and Alec and Davis come to sleep over at "Nannie and Uncle Carey's house. Presley and Kensley, I'm sure will be hanging out a lot too. How exciting. I still think it's too good to be true, but God hasn't ever let me down and he has fulfilled His promise to answer my prayers.
Now, I went to Houston suddenly to be "there" for my college buddy and friend of 15 years, Michelle. She broke up with her boyfriend of 3 years and I felt like she needed me to be there for her so I drove over, a short 4 hours to be with and cheer up a good friend. I knew she would do that for me at any moment if necessary and there was not doubt about that, so it took only a few seconds for me to say- I'm coming to be with you. We had a great weekend, enjoyed dinner, shopping, drinks and such. We reminisced and laughed. It was a great time. Now I'm trying to get her to move to Baton Rouge now. That would be great.
So, in the last two weeks I had left one job, started another one, sat in the Emergency room with my family, put my dad into the hospital, sold my condo, searched for a new house, put a purchase agreement on a new house, shop for refrigerator, clean my house, packed items and visit Houston! Whew. I'm pooped, but I'm so excited about going to work tomorrow and that is a good thing.
We got a house!
WHOOP WHOOP!
Thank you Lord.
