Once we got the signed contract on our current house, we hit the pavement once more to look at even more houses. We had a list of 3 houses to view and were in our second neighborhood when the agent took us to an unexpected house. We were told that the house was previously under contract but that those buyers' financing fell through and it was about to be put back on the market. As soon as we walked in, we knew this was the house for us. We fell in love immediately. It's a new construction in a brand new DR Horton neighborhood and it is absolutely beautiful. There are so many things we fell in love with- the large windows all throughout the house, the high ceilings, the yard, the lot...there wasn't much to NOT love. We ended up making an offer and in our offer we asked for the following things: a privacy fence, blinds throughout, ceiling fans in every room, a refrigerator, a garage door opener, and $3500 in closing costs. Believe it or not, the offer was accepted! We couldn't believe that they came off of the asking price AND gave us all of the things we asked for! We really feel like this house was meant to be and everything has happened at the right time.
With everything that's gone on with us over the past few months, I've really come to realize that God had a different plan than we did all along. Had we sold the house months ago like we'd wanted, I know it wouldn't have worked out financially and we most certainly wouldn't have found the house that we both love. God definitely works things out in his own time....not in our time.
Anyways, if all goes well we will close on both houses on the same day and move the next. I think Jeffrey and I both are very anxious to get things going. Strangely enough, I'm actually ready to start sorting thru things and packing up! (Crazy, I know!) We are just more than ready to get on with the next chapter in our lives. Let's get this show on the road!!
Here's a pic of the new house
Wish us luck! :)
