A little disappointment

Not gonna lie... really disappointed about tonight. God definitely has plans for me that I don't know about. (PS: Man up stairs, please feel free to share your master plans for me in my dreams tonight. That would be simply lovely!)

We had a schedule for our first house showing at 6:30pm. This house was an amazing cape cod with all the charm in the world, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and an amazing 2700 sq feet! (A little too much room for us but that wasn't the down fall!). Basically it was my dream house if I could draw one up on paper. It was slightly out of our price range; however it was a banked owned home and we thought we might be able to offer lower.

Well around 4:45 I get a call from our realtor saying she has bad news. She said the house that we were going to look at tonight has been put under contract this afternoon. My heart dropped. I was so upset because for the first time all my ducks were starting to line up in a row; however this one got lead astray.

But I have to look on the positive side of things. As I would tell Steve, look at it with the glass half FULL!!! So 1: God is holding out on an amazing house that he has in store for us. 2: Maybe if we would have gotten 'that' house we would have dough in deeper than we thought and in the long run would have been in financial trouble. 3: What if we made an offer and had to wait for 3 months to just receive disappointing news. It's better to find out now, rather than after waiting for 3 months. 4: We are lucky enough to even have a home to live it at the moment and should be thankful for my parents who don't charge us rent. 5: We still have each other.

So on the flip side of things.... it’s back to square one. I'm wondering when I asked God to open the right doors for us and close the ones that need to be closed, I really should have been more specific. :) All jokes aside, we will take this house hunting another day by day and hopefully one of those days God will unmask the beauty that we have been waiting for.

on the hunt

So today is the day!! At 6:30 we view our fist home. You better believe I'm bringing my camera :)

connect to MLS

Officially house hunting! We just got our link to connect to the MLS and we couldn't be more excited. (Just want to give a shout out to God right now. Without him and the many prayers this wouldn't be happening right now, so thank you Jesus!)



...please check the box if your thoughts on the house are 1. interested 2. maybe or 3. not interested......


Oh happy day!


So on our journey of this house hunt, I have been reading and looking around at everything and anything that has to do with fixing up a fixer-upper. And boy o boy, look what I found.

What a difference a coat of paint, and some landscaping can do to a place!


This just goes to show that if a house we find has an out-dated kitchen, there are always possibilities.


Until next time...

AMLP doc.

A Million Little Pieces Documentary....


What: One thousand people from around the world will document their lives in 24 frames using a disposable camera. An exhibition will be held showing over 24,000 photographs.


When: September 25Th, 2009 at the Art House Gallery in Atlanta, GA.


Why: Because I'm in it! I am one out of the 1,000 people who get to take 24 photos of my life! (I know, cool right?) I am overLEE excited to participate. I actually have taken a few photos since I received the camera (83 days ago) and I have 5 photos remaining. I'm in love. What will I ever find interesting enough that is apart of my life to take 5 more photos of?

So on that note, guess who is going to Atlanta GA on the 25Th of SEPTEMBER? Who's in?!
