We're in ESCROW!

After quite the test of my FAITH, and many reassurances from my husband that the Lord would provide, we finally got one of our many OFFERS accepted and we are getting a HOUSE!!! It wasn't my first choice of a home, in fact Jeremy had to do a little convincing before I would even consider putting an offer in. Its a bank owned property and needs some WORK. Mostly cleaning, but also carpet and all new appliances. All before we can MOVE IN. But things are falling into place like they do when something is RIGHT. We are very excited to own again, though housesitting for G&G Johnson has been a huge blessing to us. Here are some pics of the house. For those familiar with the area, its at Signal Butte & Elliot in Mesa.I can't wait to PAINT this room...And this room...

I will eventually paint every room in the house, but for now those HAVE to be done. YIKES! Since we have virtually NO furniture, painting after we move in is not nearly as intimidating as it could be. We won't have a ton of stuff to displace during the process, so we will do one room at a time until it is just the way we want it.

We are SOOOOOOOOOOO excited!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the vaulted ceilings in the kitchen. That turquoise looking room doesn't look so bad, but I must admit I'm not a fan of the red/pink one with the funky border. I'm sure you guys will get it looking great in no time.

I love it!! How exciting!! Paint is no big deal. You should have seen our house when we moved in. One room was yellow, another was puke green and one was Goldenrod Yellow. Oh, and lets not forget the dark purple walls in the family room and kitchen. We repainted everything and with Carris wonderful decorating skills, it turned out great. We love it.
It is so doable and you will love it when its all done. Its so exciting to get into a house and do exactly what you want to it! Congrats you guys!!! It looks fantastic.
The washer and dryer are great too! Great bargain shopping!!
See you soon!! We come 2 weeks from friday!! Love you guys

Yeah! I like the vaulted ceilings. Can't wait to see the new paint job, anything would be an improvement:) I'm totally jealous of the washer and dryer. My parents have the same (brown though) and I love them! I'm so excited for you and your new house!

How exciting! I am so excited for you! When we had our offer accepted on our house it was like a dream come true! So fun! Of course it was right around the time I had Sadie so I didn't get to help much with the painting and the cleaning...not that I'm complaining too much about that! =) Congratulations! You'll have to take pictures of the finished product!
