House hunt...

Well, the house hunt may finally be over. If all goes the way it has seemed to go with my employment search, Carrie and I will most likely be living in Elk Grove, CA which is located about 25 minutes south of Sacramento.

It has truly been an answer to much prayer and patience as we have watched the Lord open and close doors for Carrie and I in our house hunt as well as my employment search. In regards to the house hunt, we put three different contracts on three different homes, entering escrow on one which we were tied up in for nearly 3 months. The Lord miraculously allowed us to back out of that contract and now has opened the door for a home in Elk Grove. We will be centrally located for my job, Carrie's job, church and family.

The house will finish being built toward the end of August and is by the same builder that my parents purchased from nearly 2 years ago. http://www.woodside-homes.com/ssi/v2/8CommPageV2.asp?State=NCA&Community=Heritage%20at%20Bilby%20Ranch We will be purchasing the Heritage 4020 plan, elevation C.

Please be in prayer as many things need to happen between now and then. :)

Hey guys! The floor plan looks great! You say that the house hunt "may" be over and then that it will "finish being built" - so I wasn't sure if this was a for sure thing or not. But, anyway, I'm glad to hear that things are going well. The house would be great for your family!

Hey Guys! From a jaded perspective, the house hunt will be over when we move into the house...:) The house is a new house being built in Elk Grove and is nearly complete. We should be able to move in either the end of August or the beginning of September. :) Also, the job hunt is over as well. :) I officially accepted a position with Eli Lilly for a pharmaceutical sales position today. I'll be out in Indianapolis for 3-4 weeks of training sometime in the next month most likely. I hope to see you guys while I'm there. :)

Oh my GOODNESS! I think it's WILD how much our lives are criss-crossing - in ALL the states I've lived in, VA, CA, and IN!!!

We'd love to see you Josh! Let us know exactly when you'll be here.

Congrats on the job! And, again, the house looks fantastic, like it will be perfect for you. :)
