House Hunting
Our apartment complex decided that they were going to raise our rent by 10 percent. Shaune and I have decided to find a house. We found a really cute one and there are no offers on it yet. On Monday or Tuesday there will be an offer though. OURS!!! My husband is truly amazing. He was able to make as few call and show me houses with his realestate license. We looked at 5 in one day decided on two that we like. Hopefully they will not raise above our price range. My husband has great talent on reading people, he has better woman's intuition than I have! House hunting is stressful though. It is a real marriage tester. You have to be patient and play the waiting game. Make concession with one another about what you want, where you want to live and what you can afford. My husband is wise with money and is choosing houses that we can afford and live comfortably. He is a good husband. I am lucky to have him. I learned a valuable lesson this week. Trust in the talents that God has gifted you with. Use them to your abilities and trust others to use them wisely.

I can remember how excited we were to buy our first house! We had looked and looked and found this little garden home (in McAllen, TX) and it was over our price range. We fell in love with the house. We kept looking and nothing else seemed to fit what we wanted. One day the realtor told us that the house we loved was vacant (and had been) and they dropped the price - into OUR PRICE RANGE! What a gift from God! We did have to deal with the time factor of negotiating the contract, but it was so worth it after it was said and done. That was our favorite house yet. We were sorry that we only got to live there 8 months before we were tranferred to Dallas.
What a fun time in your life! Enjoy it!!
How exciting! We will be praying for wisdom and guidance for ya'll.

Hope you get your house. I'm praying!
