Could This Be IT?

What a whirlwind our lives have been! Brandon and I have been married for almost 5 years now, and we have lived in 2 places in Dahlonega (one being our house we own there; we have lived there twice), Flowery Branch, Texas pre-deployment, him Iraq, me Georgia, then Texas again, then our house in Dahlonega for the 2nd time, then Blairsville.  We had planned to live here for a year, in this townhouse, but some things have been coming together for us.....

We have had our eye on a certain house ever since we moved back from Texas. It wasn't, however, supposed to go on the market until Spring of 2010, when the owner was planning to retire. It is a wonderful house-- 2500 sq. feet, right on the edge of town, 2 car garage, 2 acres, and a beautiful pond.  For a great price, since we know this person, obviously. Well, the person decided to put it up on the market the morning that we had our portable DVD player and most beloved Veggie Tales movie stolen. From our car. While parked right. in. front. of. our. house. (!!!!)

K, I see, not toooo big of a deal, right? However, what's next? Our house? Who knows. Anyhow, we took it as a sign to go ahead to and try for the house anyway. If it happens, it happens, if it's just not God's Will, it won't. Believe me, I don't want it to.  However, after much prayer, we applied for a loan, got it, and we are just awaiting inspection/appraisal. Believe me though, there will be no problem with the appraisal! Our closing date is June 18, the date we were supposed to take our anniversary trip, but we'll see if we can go earlier. If not, then we will reschedule.

As previously blogged about (I really want to put a link to a previous blog here, but I just don't feel like rummaging through the archives), we are going to live in our next house that we buy until we rot. That's right, the funeral director from Cochran Funeral Home is going to have to come in and physically remove my body in order to get me to my truly final resting place. This place will just be my final living place. Trust me. I never want to move ever again-- I want to settle somewhere I can nest in and make my own. And, I believe this is it!!
