Jesse and I are so excited to announce that we are officially homeowners!! We began the process of looking for a home back in June when we drove past this house in a neighborhood we love. We saw that the house was vacant so we peeked through the windows and walked around the backyard. We loved the fact that it had a great front and back yard (something you don't usually get much of in San Diego), it was in a walkable community, 1.5 miles from the zoo and Balboa Park. We also have friends from our small group that live around the corner.
We saw the for sale sign but thought, "there is no way we could afford this house and I'm sure there are lots of offers in on it already." Well, turns out the house was a short sale, in our budget, and the only offer that was in ended up falling through! Our offer was accepted and less then 3 months later (which is very fast for a short sale!) we have closed escrow.
We have some work to do on the house-floors, painting, and cleaning-but for being 100 years old the house is in good condition. I'm excited to post some before & after pics once we've fixed it up!
We know and believe that it is the Lord who has given us this home. He has given to us so generously and we are so greatful for this gift.
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will act. -Psalm 37:4-5
