The Crazy House Buying Roller Coaster

The last 6 weeks have been a virtual roller coaster.  We have been trying to buy a house here in Wichita.  We thought we had to sell our house in GC first so it was a mad rush to get that done (even though we have been trying for the last 8 months).  When things fell through time and time again with that we finally gave up hope.  That was a good thing because then we were ok no matter what happened. 

Next, we discovered that we could rent the house in GC and that would enable us to get the house here.  On late Monday afternoon our friend Kent put up a "For Rent" sign for us, and we got 4 calls by the end of the day.  The next morning we got a few more and then the ad hit the newspaper and for the next week the phone was ringing off of the hook.  I know we got more than 60 calls and showed the house to dozens of people before we finally got a contract from someone with a deposit the next Monday.  That afternoon we went to the bank and finalized the paper work for the load and viola, we close next Wednesday, May 17th!

We are very excited to get into this amazing house and for the boys to have a backyard to play in whenever they want.  The backyard looks like a forest with all of the trees in it.  I love trees.

Thank you God for answering our prayers and making our dreams come true.  I feel completely unworthy for such a blessing!  From the beginning of the whole process He told us to trust him.  It was very very hard, because everything seemed to fall apart, over and over again.  It certainly wasn't Jenny or I that made this happen and God made sure that we knew it.  It is the perfect house for us in an amazing neighborhood at just the right time and I am thankful that we didn't sell our house in GC before because we would have settled for less.  Every other house we had picked out was in a much worse neighborhood and just going to be transitional.  This house is in a 0 crime, young family neighborhood with lots of kids and plenty of room to grow.
