Moving on up!

To Wylie, Texas that is.

We FINALLY received approval on our soon-to-be new home yesterday evening. This has been quite the process. I'll explain for anyone that wants to know. Otherwise, scroll to the bottom and check out the pics.

We placed an offer on this house over a month ago and it took them several weeks to decide. There were several offers and we were told that ours was selected 2 weeks ago. We were pretty excited but soon learned that now the Bank had to approved the offer since it was being sold as a Short Sale. So the waiting continued. We received updates, but each update told us, sorry not today, maybe tomorrow. Seriously, how long can they drag this out? And then, we received an e-mail last night notifying us that we FINALLY received the approval. YEAH! Okay, so enough about the grueling process, on to THE HOUSE!

It's located in Wylie, just a few miles from where we currently are living. It's about 1,900 sq. feet and has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It's only 3 years old and is in great condition, other than the fence that's about to fall over. We'll definitely have to fix that for Skeeter. :) It's in a great community that includes a pool, playground, basketball court and park. We have lots of plans, so we'll be getting to work as soon as we close. Painting, Flooring, Gardening, where to begin. We will close on or before Oct. 2nd, giving us a whole month before we have to be out of our apartment and no double rent and mortgage payments (something we specifically prayed about). YEAH! The Lord definitely worked out all of the details, it just took some faith and a little patience. Okay, a lot of patience. :)
