New House???


So we are back from our house hunting trip to Albuquerque. After much looking and much deliberation, we decided to rent a home. We had full intentions of either buying or doing a rent to own, however, after looking at lots of homes and with great prayerful consideration, nothing ever felt right. We were not comfortable owning two homes at once among other things. Although it is not official yet (just waiting to hear back from the rental agency on our approval) this will be our new home as of October 1st. The story is long and quite frankly amazing however it was VERY clear to Buddy and I that this was the place for us to live. I still think about how it all worked out in an unbelievable way. Our Heavenly Father most certainly had His hand in this one. These pictures are 2 years old and there is now grass (yes grass in New Mexico!!! Another sign that someone from above loves me indeed) in the front yard. It is in amazing condition. The current family who is renting it is just as sweet as can be. The mom and I felt like we had been friends forever. It was sad for both of us to realize that we couldn't live next to each other or something. There is a very large balcony off of the master suite and the back yard has a huge covered patio and there is plenty of room for a trampoline (Buddy is running out of excuses of why we cant have one) and for Buddy's future fire pit (Thanks for the idea Cleggs!) It is 2700 square feet (I think ) and has 2 living areas (family room and living room) plus a loft. 4 bedrooms and 3 of them have walk in closets. The kids bathroom has double sinks and has a seperate door to the shower/bath and toilet area. It is just gorgeous. So here are the pictures.


Kitchen (obviously)

Heather that is such a nice house! I think renting a house sounds perfect. You get your space but no mortgage!

I love it. It is always amazing to sit back and reflect on how obvious the hand of the Lord is in our lives. I am glad things went well and that you will have a great place to live.

Are you getting all packed up or do you have movers or what? Keep us up to date.
