He Has Risen (A few days ago!), But the Moving Forward is NOT Done!

Well, LoF is officially over at Mercy. It ended well. It kinda went in like a lion and out like a lamb for us. I mean, day 2 of LoF we had put an offer on a house. By day 5 it was accepted and by day 6 the inspection was complete!
Since then we have been waiting. We (read: Cristin) were worried about some issues coming up with the FHA home inspection/appraisal. Turns out, the only issue was that they appraised the house with the wrong purchase price in mind. That was fixed and as of yesterday we are in the go for closing on May 16th!
I am still overwhelmed and overjoyed by what God is doing for Glynn and I. LoF was a great way to start this process. We went in with excitement and energy. Everything went so fast we felt like we didn't know how to handle ourselves. Then towards the end, we realized that buying a house is like planning a wedding. You are so excited right after enagement that you choose venues, find a dress, ask the people to be in the wedding party, etc. And then you wait. About 2 months before the wedding you deal with invitations, guest lists, details, details and more details. The last several weeks it gets busier and busier. But, in the end, it is a wonderful thing!
So, we are currently getting some paperwork in order, saving a lot of money and finding homeowners insurance. We are also keeping our eyes out on the doggies who are at shelters waiting for a "fur-ever family!"
I also realized that this blog did not contain a whole lot of blogging during LoF, but that doesn't mean I am done blogging. Maybe this will change to a home adventure blog. Or maybe it won't, but I thoroughly enjoy writing about what God is doing and how he has good things for us in life.
Well, I am off to pack! Keep returning to see what we are up to!
