Yesterday I shared about our journey of buying our first home, well, we are officially under contract for our dream home!
Yesterday we signed the papers and it is now official! The home inspection is this Friday at 9am, and the VA will come out and appraise the house within 10 days. If all goes well with that and the loan process we "might" be able to close before the months' end!
I cannot even tell you how extremely excited and blessed we feel about buying our first home! We are even more excited that we are not compromising on the vision we have for our family. Our children will grow up learning about things that, generally speaking, "city kids" miss out on. We plan that this will be the first and only home we purchase. We cannot imagine living anywhere else and the house is big enough for us to "grow into". I'm so glad that we wait until now to pursue this dream. Anytime before now, just wouldn't have been what we would have wanted. We're finally getting out of the city and going into a community where we can safely raise our children.
Sofia and Charlotte are super ready to get a dog and some chickens. We are also looking into buying a couple of more acres that surround our property. Maybe one day we'll get some horses! Ok - so I might be getting a little ahead of the program, but oh how great it all will be!
To teach our children the value of hard work and self sufficiency will be divinely sweet! We will be just a few minutes from our church family and friends - and live in a small community; oh how lovely it will be! No loud noises from inconsiderate neighbors. Slower pace of life. No traffic! We will actually be able to see the stars in the sky at night!
It will be our little house on the prairie and it will be such a blessing for us and our children. We have a budget plan all worked out to get our house and student loans paid off in about 10 -15 years (possibly sooner if the Lord wills it). We have some wonderful ideas for home improvement projects and of course - our vegetable and fruit garden will be splendid!
Please pray that everything will continue on smoothly and that the Lord would keep our family safe as we make the move out to the country!
Serving God and My Family,
