Woohoo!

This has been a great day! As I said in the last post there were some potential houses that we drove by and liked, so on Thursday we went and looked at 4. The first house we looked at we absolutely loved but tried to keep our options open. None of the other houses worked (either too small of yard or layout didn't work or it was too cramped). So we waited till today to go look at the house we liked again and look at 2 others. We really liked this house from the moment we saw it and figured the other 2 would have to really compete to make us change our minds. They turned out to be alright, but they were not homes we could grow into the next 10 years or more. So we just knew this house was the one! We've been praying for God to lead us to the right house that we can do a lot of ministry in, and we've prayed for us to be in agreement on it. We are thrilled to have this house! It's beautiful on the outside and has a big yard. It has a unique floor plan and a good sized kitchen. It's a house that is in great condition (we don't even need to paint before we move in!) but it is one that we can fix up as we live there and easily keep it current. We made an offer this afternoon and this evening we accepted their counter offer! We will close on it the middle of July (the weekend after vbs!).
On our way to look at houses this morning we got a call from our realtor in KC, and she told us the gentleman who is buying our house got an offer on his (actually multiple offers). He will be closing on his house the end of July, so we will be free from that house!
We finished up our day at a friends birthday party, just hanging out with friends and enjoying the beautiful weather! It was a good day!
