Still House Hunting

Well...the house in FC that we had made an offer on fell through. We haven't sold our house yet, so it was only a contingent offer...which means that someone could still make an offer on it and get it...and someone did just that. Although it was a bit disappointing...we know that God's hand is in all of this and that this house must just not be the one for us. So many times in our lives the Lord has shown us His plan for our lives. Sometimes it's not what we thought it would be in the beginning...but as time goes on we see why it's the very best. He is so good and only wants the best for us!

Our house is still on the market and we're awaiting that perfect offer still. As we wait, we are now searching again for a home. Since Forest City didn't have much else to offer that we liked, we have expanded our search to include Lake Mills. It was our second choice for the town we would live in and does a couple of potential homes that could work for us. Last night we actually looked at one for the second time and took our parents to take a look as well. It's difficult not to be picky when we love the house we're in so much...but overall the consensus was good. It doesn't have quite the space ours does, but is newer and very nice. There are definitely things that we would want to do to "personalize" it and make it our own...but what fun would buying a house be if you couldn't do those things, right?!? We don't know what we'll do at this point....we're going to keep praying about it and following the Lord's leading. If we decide to make an offer and all goes well I think it could make for a very nice house for us. We'll just have to see what happens. God is in control! :)

This week has been fairly uneventful other than that and that we've had a couple of showings for our hosue. Kaelyn turned 19 months old on the 1st...that was pretty exciting too! Kind of bittersweet though...our little girl is getting so big and growing so fast! This past weekend we actually got her a baby (it cries, coos, closes it's eyes, etc) to help get her ready for her baby brother or sister in November. She calls her Emma and carries her everywhere! I know she'll be a terrific big sister!!
