7 days until the movers arrive!! wow!
here's the latest:
on monday we almost put an offer in on the only house we've seen that we liked–our realtor had it all written up! then late that afternoon, the bank we were pre-approved with (who didn't yet know about our offer) called to let us know that the loan we were planning on is out of funding!! stinks, cause we were actually getting excited about the house and if we would have done the offer a week or two early and were able to get under contract, we would still be able to have that loan, because they are still planning to finance those under contract! BUT it is also amazing, because we wanted the Lord to close the door if...it wasn't the house for us, or the time for us to have the house, or if it was really going to be a stretch for us to afford and we just weren't realizing it...and He did!! He even did it in a way that we didn't expect!
so, we will be renting for now, which is totally fine with us! we feel like that is exactly what God wants us to do! :) as of tuesday, we even have a place to rent already!! God is sooo so good to us! one of matt's co-worker's girlfriend has a house that she is going to rent us AND it's furnished!! so it will give us more time to look and hopefully avoid having to move all of our stuff twice! what a blessing!!
our next hurdle (well, one of them anyway!! :) ) is if we can get the people to store our stuff for as long as we need!
the movers arrive sometime next thursday to pack, then load the truck up friday!! we close on our house (1720) on monday (29th). then matt leaves that afternoon for training in iowa...for the week! the kids and i will be staying at my parents, which we think will be fun! (mutti and vati, here we come!!) and we don't want to leave out our sweet pup! lucy will be with her auntie ash and uncle john who have so graciously offered to take care of her until we are able to bring her home! we are going to miss her...however, she's probably not going to want to come back to live with us after having so much fun with her cousins!!
well, that's what's going on as of right now! hopefully i'll take more pictures in the coming week to have something to look at on here! ;)

I know that sweet little Lucy will miss her family, but she's got some VA family that can't wait to love on her! :) She's in good hands- I promise!
Exciting times.... I hope the kiddo's do well with it all! Good Luck!
