December 29

...is the day we are planning to close on our new house! After 8 months of house hunting, we are "hopefully" finally finished ("hopefully" because something could go wrong, but I sure hope nothing does).

Paper work sent to morgage guy... check
Mortgage papers signed and emailed back ... check
Next up - home inspection on Tuesday

I cannot believe how everything has worked out. We put 10 offers on 10 different houses in the last 8 months. It was been a grueling process. If everything works out how we plan, we know it's because this house is SUPPOSED to be ours.

I have learned something from this whole ordeal. Our prayers changed over the past 8 months. At first it was "Please help us find a house." Then "please let one of our offers be accepted." Then that changed to "Please help us find the house we need to buy soon." It is interesting how you are taught patience. It wasn't until we actually stopped praying to find a house, and started praying about making the right decisions for our "new" family that we found it. :)
