Inspection Day

It is a cold and rainy day here in South Louisiana.  We had our home inspection this morning, promptly at 9am and everything went very well!  There are a few minor things that need to be repaired and the inspector found that the range oven and dishwasher do not work.  Our realtor is getting the report ready to send over to the seller with our request that they make the necessary repairs as well as replace the range oven and dishwasher.  So far the seller has been more than accommodating; we are praying this time will be no different.

The VA has 10 days from this past Monday to have the appraisal done on the house and then after that everything is sent over to the underwriter.  The underwriter will take one to two days to sign off on everything and then we schedule a day to walk through the house before closing.  Our realtor thinks that we might actually close on the house the week of the 20^th!  

I have been completely amazed at how smooth this process has gone for us so far.  I know that anything can still happen between today and the day we close – but for now we are counting our blessings.  Each night we continue to pray the Lord’s will be done – and every day when we wake up, He reassures us that all is well.  

We’ve got a list of home improvement projects that we cannot wait to get started on!  We will be purchasing a new chicken coop, as the one on the property isn’t as safe as we initially thought it would be.  This is great because I have enjoyed searching all of the different styles of chicken coops!  Some are just so stinking adorable I can hardly stand it!   

In my basic internet search for chicken coops I came across the loveliest blog – Homestead Revival.  Here is one of the posts about chicken coops – (aren’t they ADORABLE!)   

In the end, I think we may do something similar to what this “chicken raiser” did.

All in all we are so excited and blessed by all the Lord is doing in our lives.  The vision my husband and I have for our family is being realized and we just thank the Lord for everything! 

We thank everyone who is continuing to pray for us through this process – and we can’t wait to get moved in and show you all pictures of our new home!

Soli Deo Gloria!

Serving God and My Family,
