Praise the Lord!

I just wanted to let you all know the Lord answers your (and my) prayers :) We have a signed (LEGIT) contract and a scheduled closing date of February 24. Thank you Jesus! We will be living with Marquetta while our house is completed (prolly 8 weeks or so) so you can now add her to your prayers.... and say an extra prayer for her almost white carpet because something in my gut tells me it isn't going to make it through the 3 amigos... or JD for that matter ;) I have been packing and some how making a bigger mess by the day! Trying to decide what stays, goes, has to stay accessible and what we will not be needing for 8 weeks is a major task! I have taken 3 truck loads to the storage facility (aka- Chad and Em's garage lol) and I haven't seemed to put a dent in our stuff! 10 years + 3 kids= lots and lots of junk! I am half tempted to set it all on the curb and put a "Free to a good home" sign on it.

My new stress.... picking out all the things for the new house! And I mean STRESS! I am a simple person- give me a couple of samples and tell me to pick one and that suits me just fine. I have seen more doors, drawers, hinges, paints, textures, lights, etc. etc. etc. until I literally feel like my head is spinning..... and I still don't know what I want.... Whoever says this is fun needs some crazy pills! Or just give me the pills... I could use them right about now!!!


Anywho.... I am thankful the Lord provided for us once again.
He may not come when you call Him but He'll come on time

so are you building your house in the same neighborhood as Marquetta and Chad??

Drea said...

TB yes we are. We will all 3 live on the same street - we will be on the opposite end.

Congrats!! Now you can help me pray that ours sells!!

My advice about picking stuff for the house...Take one task at a time and just go with your gut. Oh and Home Depot/Lowes will become your home away from home. Make freinds!!!!
