Home? (aka Our Possible New House!)

Derrick and I are so excited to tell you that we have officially entered contract to buy a new house for our family!  In case you didn't know, we have been living at the XA House for the last year while we saved money for down payment and whatnot.  It has been a huge help to be able to stay there and the students have been really respectful, giving us lots of "space" for family time when Katelyn was born.  But we are really excited to be moving forward with a house.



You can see by the picture to the right, it's an older house in need of some serious curb appeal.  But when you walk inside, it's completely different!  The interior has been completely redone, including laminate wood floors, an updated kitchen with tile countertops and backsplash, and updated bathrooms as well.  It's currently 2 bedroom, 2 baths, but there is an extra room at the back of the house (the only room not redone) that we will likely turn into the master bedroom within a year or so - it will be MASSIVE!

We will spend the next week arranging our home inspection and we are most nervous about this step.  We know of a couple of things that will not pass inspection, but are nervous about any new discoveries that could be made and what that will mean for the appraisal later (and our decision to pursue purchase).  Please pray with us for God's direction in all this and for a clean inspection this week!
