We're so excited to announce that we finally found out about our home last weekend. We have been waiting for a home on Traverse Mountain, since Nov. 2009. The bank responded two weeks ago and asked for an additional $20,000. Of course we said "No Thanks", and stuck to our guns. The last two weeks have been horrible waiting and hoping the bank would accept our offer. My Aunt is our Realtor and she called us on Friday afternoon to tell us the exciting news! When I answered the phone, I was a little nervous and then I started screaming and jumping up and down. Then it all set in the emotions of having our own home again. I couldn't help but start to cry. I couldn't believe it was happening. Although we have lived with Eric's parents the last 8 months, and what a blessing it has been, the feeling of having our own home again is indescribable. We can't wait for the memories we will create with our children in our new home. A couple of nights ago, Eric, Kaden and I were lying on the bed talking about having Christmas in a new home and Kaden having his own bedroom. Oh the joys of having a back yard will be amazing! (All the people who live in a Town Home know exactly what I am talking about.) We can't wait to start this portion of our journey through life with our little family in our new Home.
We want Eric's parents to know how grateful we are for all their support. They have been extremely willing to let our family move in and, well, take over there home. Also for their patience in this hole process. We know at times it's not been easy, but what a HUGE blessing it has been to be able to save our money and get a "jump start" on life. Thanks again Mom and Dad for all the support and love you have shone to us. We love you!
I just also want to tell my mom "Happy Mother's Day". I love her so much. She is an amazing lady. She is so dedicated to her family and her Savior. She is always positive about everyone she meets, she never finds anything negative. She is so Christ like in many ways. What a great example she is to me. As I get older, and have children I realize that being a mom is the most exhausting career, but yet so rewarding in every way. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I am so grateful for all the times my mom has comforted me and made me feel safe in her arms. I love you mom and thanks again for everything you do for me and my little family.
