It has happened! We just bought 314. Well, the sellers accepted our offer anyway. One more step to sign the papers and we will be the owners of two homes. Kind of scary but exciting as I have dreamed of this day for a long time. Yesterday we met with the realtor, Debbie Perry, and found out about the things that need to be done to fix a few things with the house. We are getting a discount on the house for the contractor's bid. Tomorrow we meet with her, the insect man and the contractor. I am sure there will be some papers to be signed and then things will be getting close to having the "key to 314 Catawba".
The Lord has had his hand in this long process since last year when we decided we wanted to move and found the home we wanted to buy. He has slowly worked things out, not with a big miracle but with inspiration and encouragement along the way. We give all praise and credit to a kind Heavenly Father that blesses us with the desires of our hearts sometimes. Now it is up to us to live up to the trust he has placed in us and try to make this new cottage farmhouse a place of gospel teachings and love.
One miracle in this saga that started earlier last year was the fact that 314 did have a contract a few weeks ago but in the end it fell through and our cottage farmhouse came back into our hands again and that is why we were able to make the decision to buy it before we sell our current lovely mini-farm. We are hoping that we will sell this lovely spot in the country soon. Another little miracle that we have faith will happen.
