A Hidden Jewel!

Kerry and I found our beautiful house yesterday! We were on our way back home finishing out the day of house hunting and our realtor suggested we drive through a hidden jewel she knew about. A newer housing development tucked away behind an older neighborhood. When we drove down the hill, it was indeed a hidden jewel. Kerry and I both had seen this home online and I am sure glad we were able to get in and see it yesterday. I was in love the minute we walked in the door. Gorgeous upgraded home with cherry wood floors overlooking a pond. It was exactly what we both had envisioned, but just hadn't found. All of the other homes worth considering were all backed up to a road which we knew was not a good thing. We found a very cute home last week backed up to the woods, but that was bought right out from under us and this one almost was too!

Our realtor called this afternoon to tell us an offer was made and asked us what we wanted to do. We discussed it and decided to make an offer below list and see what happens. If it was meant to be, it would be. We kept saying, "People are stealing our houses!" We got a call from our realtor this evening saying it must be a "God thing" because we got the house! Turns out, they had countered with the other offer three times before getting ours and they decided to accept ours because they were done haggling. Another cool thing is that they are moving to Arizona! Small world!

God is amazing! He truly works everything out in his timing. I know we are all looking forward to moving out of this cigarette smoke infested apartment (which is cute by the way) and into our hidden jewel come mid June.
