So. About That House...

This doesn't happen every week, but today the blog and the podcast go hand in hand. Hope you enjoy both!!

 So it's been a few days since I told you about this new adventure we were embarking upon, but we've had a pretty major development. Namely...this:

 WHAT?!?!?

Yes, it's true! This is officially official!

I know some of you are new here, so you missed the first part of this story, so if you want to go back and read, here is part one, part two, part three, part four, part five, part six, part seven, and part eight.

And then...I left you in silence. We waited what felt like an eternity, but in truth, it really was very little time at all, for all the paperwork to go through. We were scared out of our ever-lovin' minds, because of the RIDICULOUS debacles we went through in selling Ryan's Greentown house after we got married. I'm thrilled to report that our experience this time was 100% opposite that mess and was actually quite pleasant in every single way. 

We found out the day Ryan left for his retreat that we were on board to close on the house in just over one week. And that day was yesterday.

In truth, I told Ryan {even up through yesterday morning} that I would believe it when I saw it. I'd been burned too much the last time. 

Ryan went to work and I followed about an hour later, picked him up, and we drove to the title company to sign 3904823949237498273849723948298347298374298374928374 papers. 

I was still suffering the after-effects of DST, so I looked pretty rough and felt even worse when we arrived, and we just sat and waited while the paperwork began in the other room!

We had our picture taken with our Realtor, Cathy, who was so sweet to document our day for us. {Unasked. Does she know me or WHAT?!?!!?!?!?!!}

{Bless her heart, she was so not feeling well, and she was SUCH a trooper the entire morning.} 

We signed and signed and signed and signed and signed {you get the idea...}

And then we were done!! And the house will be ours very soon. {I should say the KEYS will be ours very soon. The house is already ours.}

We are just so excited. This is a journey that two months ago, we had not even begun, and now we're HERE. What!?!?! How??? 

We're still praying over the sale of our home and trusting God with the timing of that, but for today, we pause to have a praise party for the new home that is now ours. What a joy!!!!

It's not our first home, but it's the first home we've picked out together, and we could not be more excited about that.
