home sweet home?

A few weeks back we really started looking at the real estate market vs rental market. We had a great talk about our vision for where we would like to live, how long, etc. Loooooong story short, Matt emailed me on a monday (the day after we had really decided to start praying about buying vs renting for another few years- as was our plan) with this little quaint home. I looked up it's location and loved it. Drove by, scheduled a showing with our favorite realtor (Emily Booth ;) and saw a lot of potential. It was like a scene out of house hunters, where you walk in and the furniture and little fixes make for a cosmetic mess, but you for some reason can see past all of it with a vision of what it could look like if it were yours. The pro's: huge beautiful yard for my babies to play in, 2 miles from my whole world, 25 min commute for matt (instead of an hour now), great school district and will be a great home to hold onto forever and have as a rental down the line. Con's: small, close to the freeway.

So we are in the midst of inspection negotiations, and if all goes well we will be moving in a month. I keep shaking my head thinking, man this came along fast...but if there's one thing God has taught me it's that He moves at His own pace and His plans always blow mine out of the water.
