So we bought a house! The whole process has been stressful and fraught with some lost homes and spilt tears (by me); but in the end I think we are landing where we are supposed to be... God has truly opened many doors and made it possible (we’re talking several miracles in which God has led friends and family to give us money for a down payment; we have almost all of our 3.5% as a gift from God!). I am so grateful to the folks who allowed God to use them to bless us in this way. It would not have been possible without you. We pray God would bless your lives abundantly!!!
So the dilemma was in the location. We can’t afford the area we are currently in (not even to rent) now that my career as a full time mommy is about to commence (Friday is my last day of work!). The few homes we could find in neighboring counties were quick to leave the market and/or in unsavory neighborhoods. So we decided to broaden our search area. Our search has landed us in Fredericksburg VA (which surprisingly is considered part of northern Virginia!). Scott’s commute is going to be a bit of a drag (50 miles/ although he only works 4, 10 hour days a week and can possibly telecommute another day!!!). I’m not letting myself sweat the details right now we have until June or July while the house is being built to figure out what moving south means in the greater scheme of our lives!
Any ways here’s our house! I’ll keep everyone updated on the progress!
