Blessings From Home

We got a counter offer and accepted it!

I got a call from the realtor this morning and she told me that the seller counter offered. Our original offer was fairly low, hoping that if she didn't accept it that when she countered it, that it would stay low. The original price of the house was 49,900. Our offer was 45,000, and seller pays 3% of closing costs which would have been about $1350. The seller counter offered 47,500 and seller pays 3% closing costs which would increase to $1425.

Although it would've been nice for her to have accepted our offer, what we settled on was a great price too. The house is wonderful, and although it needs some work, it will be perfect for our growing family. For those who don't remember, the house is a 4 bedroom, 2 bath home in town, but with a huge backyard and a privacy fence. I posted a while back with pictures that you can see here.

So in less than a month we will be moving again to our very own home! What a blessing! I'm looking forward to so many things besides the fact it will really be ours....things like painting and decorating the rooms for the kids and the new little one to come, fixing things up and making the home ours, and using all the wonderful storage we will finally have! Oh, and best of all there will be plenty of air conditioning to keep this hot mama cooled off. Praise the Lord!

I'm so thankful that this month will stay busy. Between re-packing, vacation bible school, father's day, a weekend trip to Texas to visit family, and catching up on schoolwork for everyone, the month will be over before we know it, and we will be moving in!

Blessings, sara

Yay! I'm so happy for y'all! I'm not sure where you live, but there is no such house for that amount of money where we live! God bless!
