we’ve been released

Yes. The seller signed the release so we are now out of the contract, and we will get our deposit money back.
I guess they must be overwhelmed by the results and have to figure out what to do next as well.
As for us, we have another weekend marathon planned for house hunting. This [...]

playing like good boys should

Wow! What a morning! A super good one!
Yes, today was what all mornings should be like. One without fights. One with lots of playing. Lots of role games, lots of imagination. Lots of good loving from brothers who are close in age and understand each other.

I woke up hearing [...]

we’re getting out…

We got word that the septic failed yesterday. There’s a possibility that a new septic might not even be approved by the Board of Health. What then?
That has become the final obstacle that just seems insurmountable, as far as this house is concerned.
After much deliberation, we both felt it was time to move [...]

inspections are done

unfortunately, there are some big things that need to be done. Things like septic replacement and/or repair, and water/moisture damage that needs to be repaired.

This is where things start to get tricky. Where I start to wonder whether this house is the one.
It’s been an interesting day as Fabio and I have tried [...]

they liked it!!!

Yes, late last night they accepted our offer! Yahoo.

I’m excited but cautious, as now we will have to get past the inspections.

We will be going up on monday to watch that happen. Please pray for us and that there won’t be any major problems. God knows what we can handle…

if you’re interested [...]

praying about homework…

“…do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.”  Deuteronomy 4:8b-9

That’s what God’s people should do.  Teach their children about his ways.

That’s what I try to do, but it’s hard to know [...]

the counter

We made the original offer yesterday evening.

This afternoon they countered, barely going below their asking price.

So, we counter-offered later this afternoon.

Now we wait again…

Keep praying…

I’m trusting God knows best, so I’m not anxious or worried.  I just wish tomorrow would come quicker.  Maybe that’s why I’m still awake…

who said this would be easy?

A great victory has happened today.  We’ve put an offer on a house.   That’s it on the left.  It’s sorta the back of the house and garage, and a bit of the backyard.  It’s not the perfect picture, but it at least gives you a visual.  We are so excited.  After looking at hundreds of [...]

mother’s day poem and other goodies

Mother’s Day is a wonderful day, and I’m glad Anna Jarvis wanted to honor her mom. That’s what kids should do. Honoring and respecting everyone is not just a nice thing, it is what makes or breaks any relationship.

So, mother’s day with young kids can feel at times, like more of a battle [...]

house hunting recap

How does one summarize a tour of 7 houses…

A day filled with adventure, from meeting our agent, Heather, to almost not getting into a house, we had our shares of experiences.

The first house, had the owner there. And elderly man, who (we researched this later) lost his wife a couple years ago, was a [...]
