A little update for ya!
We just got the appraisal form back. We are taking the good with the bad on this one.
The good- Our home is appraised for more than what we are paying! WOO HOO!
The bad- We need to go in and fix a few things. Like powerwash the side of the house, add 2 cabinets to the kitchen, and add some switch coverings to one bathroom.
Hopefully we will be able to make the changes and have it ready by Oct. 9th!! The Lord has been so faithful that I just know we are in great hands.
Side Note:
The past weekend we took Tovi and Max for a weekend getaway at CJ and Gregs house in Bollingbrook. We all went canoeing and had a great time! :)
The END!

ducks are lining up
God is truly amazing. (Like we didn't know that already!!) But he is just so faithful and has his plans just perfectly right. Want to hear more about his awesomeness? Well keep reading...
I graduated Columbia College of Chicago in June 2008 with a Bachelor in Fine Arts with a concentration in Graphic Design. I took a month to relax and I started job searching in July of '08. I couldn't find a job in my field let alone get an interview for months after months and I didn't understand why. I kept praying and praying... my family was praying....friends were praying, my mothers friends... but still God had other plans for me that were not revealed until yesterday.
Yesterday I had my first interview! (Big cheer can be let out right about now!) I felt the interview went very well. I made a few mistakes. Like too vague of answers, a few 'Ums'... but overall I feel like I did great. I did well thanks to all the prayers and of course the cute outfit that my mom got me to wear for the big day! :)
Well as I was driving to another meeting later that day, the person who interviewed me called me to say that she just sent over an e-mail with a proposal saying that I got the job!!!!! (pause...) I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!
Now talk about perfect planning on Gods time. This job is at a marketing/design firm for Real Estate agents and brokers. The only experience I have with real estate is the fact that I am in the process of purchasing my first home, and all of the knowledge that my Grandparents have given me throughout these past months. With out my Grandparents and this first time home process, I don't think I would be the best candidate for the position. So no wonder God was holding out this job for me until now. Wow can the Lord really work his magic!!
So here is a list of this busy life up ahead...
