Our First Home

On Monday July 29th we went with our good friend and Realtor, Chelsie Kinsey to look at 2 homes for sale in Canyon. The first house was brand new but not what we were looking for. We went on to #20 Turtle Crossing. Within 5 minutes we KNEW we wanted this house. It has everything we could hope for in a first home. We did not want too be to quick so asked Chelsie to let us sleep on it. We went ahead and scheduled another visit to the home for the following day. Matt and I prayed and sought wise counsel that evening. On Tuesday July 30th we went for another visit to the home. We decided to put in an offer. We waited all evening to hear something.... no news. Wednesday July 31st I received a phone call around 3 in the afternoon from Chelsie with a counter offer. I went home from school (I had been working in my classroom,) and told Matt what the counter offer was. They had agreed to help with the closing costs and our closing date. We differed only a small amount on asking price. We ACCEPTED the offer!! We are scheduled to have the inspection on Monday August 5th. We cannot wait to see what God has in store for us in the home and in Canyon.
