we're sold, are they?

Wes showed me the house this morning and I really love it. It needs a little bit of TLC (namely just new paint) but overall everything else is great. The floors are fantastic, the bathrooms are very well maintained, it's got a great porch for entertaining... I am sold! Now the only problem is praying it stays on the market until our lease ends. Wes is going to talk to them about us putting down the deposit and first month's rent now to save it until the first part of July. We've also talked about buying it, so we are going to be needing a lot of advice if we do something like that. We just got rid of every last bit of our debt too, so that I'm sure helps.

So, Wes gave me the name of a loan agent named Karmen. Some of you may remember her from before the split of the Trophy Club Ward. She was excited to help see if we could even apply for the loan and after running a credit check, we passed! So, that lifts a load from my mind knowing that if we wanted to buy we would be more than set to go ahead with it. We think the house on Main is insanely over priced so if we did BUY a house it would either have to be dropped dramatically in price or we would find another house in Roanoke. There are 4 bedroom homes in the Parks that are cheaper than what they want for that 2 bedroom (without a garage) in Old Town. Crazy!

So, I'm sailing through this pretty well so far and I know it's because we're living the gospel. Heavenly Father is really looking out for us on this one, he's made it more than possible for us to live our dream of finally buying a house. Now I just hope we can afford it down the road! More praying to come, I think...
