Our New Hobby

6-24-11

As always, there's lots going on at the Blandford House! Currey and I have a new hobby. Some couples play sports. Others work out or go antiquing. Still others enjoy concerts or maybe even gardening. But not us! Our new hobby is putting offers on houses.

Many of you know that we had an offer on a house but unfortunately that deal feel through after 6 weeks of negotiation. At first we were very disappointed but as always, we have been amazed by the goodness of God. Two weeks ago we found another house and put in an offer. We weren't the only ones putting in an offer and our realtor encouraged us to keep looking as we would not hear about the house for awhile. (It's a bank owned property.) A week later, much to our surprise, we saw another even better house. At this point in time we are cautiously optimistic about this home purchase. The whole process has been an major learning experience. We are ready to feel settled (our house has been half packed for over a month as our first deal was supposed to close 5 weeks ago. It's getting a little old!)

We are thrilled that we have been provided this opportunity and feel so blessed that God has been protecting and guiding us each step of the way. We can't wait to report that something has finalized. We are looking forward to having our own place that we can do anything with. So excited about what our future holds!

Happy Weekend!
