GREAT news!

I've been putting off sharing my news with everyone because I didn't want to jinx

the outcome.

We are closing on a home next week!

It has been a long road but the Lord has been on our side.

We had to change Realtor and mortgage broker once but we were blessed with 

hard working ones the second time around.

Thanks Sarah Grimm for referring us!

Our house is a single story brick home in SLC with a cute backyard that Carson can't

wait to get his hands on.

He has a green thumb for sure!

The house was for sale by owner, the ORIGINAL owner of the house actually.

She is going to live in a assistant living facility now.

We placed our offer on it, then had to bid our best offer, which we lost!

We felt in our hearts that that house was suppose to be ours, so we were bummed when we didn't get it.

It was hard getting back into the house hunt afterwards but our Realtor

kept her eye on the property for us.

Two weeks later, after seeing other homes and placing other offers,

our Realtor called!

She said "You remember that house you guys really wanted? The buyers loan didn't get approved and its yours!"

I was SHOCKED! Was this really reality??

Then I got a pair of cold feet, wondering if we were really ready haha. 

That usually happens, when you search and search for something but when it's actually within your grasp

you chicken OUT! 

The Lord and Carson reassured me that the spirit we felt in the home was true.

It's not my dream home, it's not big nor perfect but

IT'S OURS! 

I had to sacrifice on my dream of a huge kitchen and two-story home but 

Camden will be raised in a place his mommy and daddy worked hard to get.

I'm happy about that. 

We even worked in for the sellers to pay to replace the entire roof for $6500 and the electrical panels for $900!

Work that we couldn't afford, definitely. 

Thank you Shawndra Kirkham
