My Abandoned Blog...and my New Home.

So much has happened since I last wrote anything. I am now in my new (to me) 220 year old home!

220 YO Fireplace

Wishing Well

 After the holidays I felt it was time to begin the process of looking for a house again. I can say I was disappointed in my last pursuit but looking back on all that has happened the last six months I can say that God definately answered my prayers. I always prayed if the house wasn't the one to close the door. How could I be upset if that was my prayer? I took a break, enjoyed the holidays and went on to find the house I was supposed to have. It all seemed to happen so fast,compared to the last process. I changed realtors, a friend told me she saw me working with a woman realtor instead and I asked a lady from church to be that person, after I had already found my house. Someone suggested that although I didn't need anyone to find the house I needed someone - who knew what they were doing - to negotiate on my behalf. I also went through the financing process with someone my boss recomended. I had what I called my "dream team"...and they made my dream happen! God had a lot to do with it too!
I closed on February 28th and moved in March 6th with help from old and newer friends and family. There were a few gliches and unexpected repairs but all in all I am happy there, especially now that Spring has arrived and I am enjoying the beauty of being in the country. Lots more to do to get the place the way I want it but I already did quite a bit, so much so my body is rebelling and telling me to rest. Each week I discover new flowers in the yard and feel so blessed.
