Big news!

We got a house!

Cody and I decided a while back that we would prefer to stay in this area for a little while, and a few years down the road re-evaluate if we wanted to move or stay put. So, we started talking about a house in Eden. Cody browsed for houses online to get an idea of the market. We saw one online that looked good but when we went to view it, we decided "not so much". Our agent showed us a few more houses that we again felt "not so much" but made the first house seem more desirable. He showed us one house where the living room was smaller than Mom's office and the bedrooms would fit a queen sized bed and that's it. Another house was right next to roosters and totally gutted, he wouldn't have had it ready in time for us to move in.

Then after Cody asked, "You have anything else?" he showed us this ADORABLE house! We didn't have our camera with us so we couldn't take pictures so you'll have to take my word on how cute the house is. When we were pulling up Cody and I both "ooh'ed" on it, then we went inside, I saw the dinning room/living room, and HOORAY, it was BIG! The two bedrooms are reasonable size bathroom in between. Even the bathroom is cute! The kitchen is a nice size, and there is a laundry room (HUGE!), an enclosed sun porch (cozy reading spot!), a front porch and a nice sized backyard. I can't wait to go back and take pictures!

Just to give you a time line on how fast this all happened. Cody and I went and viewed houses on Wednesday. Cody placed an offer on the house while I was at work on Thursday. Our agent guy called Cody and told him that the woman selling the house signed the contract THIS MORNING! Eek! I'm so excited.

Now I just need everyone to pray REALLY hard that Beth finds a job in the area! Cody's working tonight so I doubt we'll hear his side of this story until later.

Oh, by the way, Mrs. Sefcik says "hi!" to all siblings. She teaches at Wall Elementary and when she found out that I was student teaching there, she came to say hi and we caught up. I'll update that tidbit tomorrow probably.
