We Moved Again

During the spring Dean and I were doing some work on the house.  We bought new bedroom furniture and I was getting ready to decorate our room when Dean shared some news.  He casually mentioned that he was looking a houses online.  This was a surprise to me because we had not been living in that house for two years yet. 

So after some prayer we talked to Abby about the possibility of moving and she thought it was great. 

We looked for a couple of months and had a couple of offers rejected.  There were also a couple we were put on the "if this offer falls though, you'll be next" list.

Well, at the end of July, a house we had put an offer on almost four months earlier had accepted our offer and wanted us to close in 3 weeks.  During that time a lot of things happened that made it seem we would not get the house but we just knew that everything would work out the way it was supposed to and it did!

We moved in the weekend after school started.  We did tons of work on the house.  We hired my brother Savino to work on the yard for us.  It was completely a mess and it took him two weeks working full-time and a Saturday of all our brothers/brother-in-laws laying sod it get it looking good.

A couple of days after we moved in the selling agent came to the house to talk to us.  She told us that the house and been empty for three years and had several offers that had fallen through so it must be that we were meant to live in this house and I agree.
