Our offer was accepted!

Wow! That was quick! We were happy to learn that our offer was accepted on a home. Now, this is not the type of home that we can move in and have friends over right away, or soon, or anytime for about a year. It's that much of a fixer-upper. BUT, it is affordable, in a great neighborhood and it is on a 1/3 acre lot! The house is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath and is about 1400 square feet. It has RV access for our home away from home, and it is cute from the outside! It needs tons of work, as I have mentioned, but we can see that in time we can make it our own. This whole thing isn't for sure yet because we will be getting an inspection and taking a very close look at a crack in the foundation. So, this could be just one blip in our home buying adventure, or this could be the one we will call home! We are thankful for God's direction and provision. It's funny... I've heard so many people say that they ended up buying the first home they saw. Well, this is the first one we saw too! Now we're off to the desert to ride dirt bikes in the pouring rain, or at this temperature, snow. :)

  1. Congrats to the Carpenter family! You guys have been on my mind lately. :) It seems you two are doing great! Perhaps we need a get together sometime when we go back in town. Give a hug to Randy and your adorable pup from all of us! Good luck with the house, too! I am sure it will all go perfectly, after all, your last name makes me think you will be just fine with and handy work you need to do. :)
