House hunting has been a quite an experience. Our small little town doesn't have a lot of homes for sale so options are quite limited. Then add in a complete career change (which looks really good to the lenders, not!) and hourly wages in which only 40 hours/week can be considered for your mortgage and your options limit even further. But in what appears to be God's timing, a house came back on the market a few weeks ago, in our exact price range and that meets our space needs for our family of 6, in a great location, in a great neighborhood. So last week we made an offer and we found out yesterday that the seller has agreed. Yay!! So I think you can say we "mostly have a house". Now I know there is a big difference in mostly having a house and all the way having a house. Mostly having a house is slightly not having a house. Just like "mostly dead"..."Mostly dead is slightly alive." As long as we only mostly have a house the deal could fall through. So of course our hope is that this house is the "one" and things will move along and finalize.
There are some things we would like to do to the house before moving in...and...(angelic ah, ah, ah) I have discovered the world of Pinterest. It is so funny, I was introduced to Pinterest a few months ago, but I just didn't get it. I was like...you do what? And why would I do that? And then my sister-in-law Jennifer (my brother's wife) (I must clarify because one of Darren's brothers has a Jennifer too), showed me a pin of a picture that popped up when she logged on of the naked family laying on top of each other...which was incredibly disturbing to us all...and again, I am all like...And why do I want to do this? And does this always come with naked people? I don't get it! But now I do. It is a perfect help with planning the remodel on the house that we mostly have.
Some really great things are happening with Darren's job and we are excited about all of that. And someday soon I will share about all of that as soon as I can understand it. I can only really understand enough to know that it is good. But...I need everyone to pray for Darren on Tuesday, January 24th. He is taking his CDL driving test at 8am. If you would pray during that 8 o'clock hour that would be great. If you are not usually awake then...Set your alarm, get up! and pray!! (Please?) and then you can go back to sleep. That day just happens to be his birthday too, so I plead for your prayers for him on that day.
Also I am going to be teaching a women's bible study at church and I am getting really excited about that. Maybe I have graduated, lol! Not sure how that is going to go as I am use to teenage girls, but I am hopeful that maybe I won't have to ask them to not lay on the floor or to not interrupt the teaching time asking to color. We will see.
I really need to go back to bed. Maybe I can sleep now that I have all of this off my brain!
