Putting in a bid...

SO I've been a slacker blogger. I haven't written, I haven't read, I haven't been immersed in blog world at all. To my faithful readers, I'm sending out another apology. Thanks for checking in at all! And to my faithful readers, you will be the first to see the pictures of our possible new house! Herb and I went house hunting this weekend and found an ideal match for us! Herb was almost beside himself with excitement, and while I had to think things through a bit, one return to the house Monday and I was as sold as he was.

I talked to my mom Sunday and she asked about the house, specs and that sort of thing. But she ended with, "Does it feel like home?"

My response was "I can picture Christmas in the living room."

To which she teared up and explained, "That's what grandpa used to ask us about when we looked at houses. Could we picture Christmas there?"

And thus, unknowingly God blessed me with a sign that this was meant to be! We put in a bid today and now begins the long, confusing journey of house buying. Pray for us that we might make wise decisions and follow God's prompting through this process. And pray that if it's not His timing or will that we will trust that as well.

Here's the house. I am posed in funny positions...I was trying to make the house feel "lived in"! :-)
