We are finally getting close. It's hard to get excited after so much let down, but it is finally starting to feel real. We might be home owners soon!<br />
<br />
This is the very first house we looked at way back in August...<br />

<br />
<br />
In August this house was a foreclosure and boy did it need some work! A contractor bought the house and flipped it. He made quite a few improvements including a new roof and new flooring... along with some other things.<br />
<br />
Our offer on this house was accepted back in April. We had a contractor look at the house and he says everything seems to look good... now we are waiting for the appraisal. The appraisal is this coming Tuesday {our anniversary} and we are hoping it goes well. Tentative closing date: June 10th.<br />
<br />
<b><u>About the house:</u></b><br />
~ 3 bedrooms 1 bath<br />
~ fire place<br />
~ small sun room<br />
~ big drive-thru garage<br />
~ big kitchen<br />
~ .39 acres, it has a yard!!!<br />
~ it is out of town a little bit where the weather is nice<br />

Sorry in advance for the pessimistic attitude.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Let me remind you of our house situation so far...</div>
<div>
<a href="http://a-darling-little-wife.blogspot.com/2012/12/buying-home.html">http://a-darling-little-wife.blogspot.com/2012/12/buying-home.html</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We are still in on the short sale, but it will not go any further until the house goes into foreclosure. So we have continued to look. We even put an offer on another house. That's 7 houses now. We are still not homeowners.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Since that last post, we moved out of our tiny one-bedroom house next to the park and into a much larger house up river. We moved here mid-February to help keep things up while the house was on the market. So we knew it would be temporary... which was great because we were ready to leave our little house, but hadn't found our own yet. There was an offer the day we moved in. Yay. </div>
<div>
This was no big deal because the lady buying it said that she wouldn't actually be moving for at least 1-3 years and we could continue to live here until we found a place of our own, with the understanding that she could come and leave as she pleased (like a vacation home). Until today. She decided that it would just be too complicated/weird. So, we have one month to find another place to rent. Yay.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It is hard when God's answer is no, but he knows what he's doing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<span style="background-color: #fffefd; color: #001320; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">yet I find myself filled with feelings of sorrow and anger.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fffefd; color: #001320; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fffefd; color: #001320; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">I have constantly been praying that the Lord will change my heart. </span><span style="background-color: #fffefd; color: #001320; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">That he would give me a heart of hope and gratitude. </span><span style="background-color: #fffefd; color: #001320; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">He has done so much in my life and I know he provides for me in so many ways, but it's hard to be joyful in times of pain, especially hidden pain.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #001320;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;">God, my prayer again today is that you will change my heart. Help me to remember the hope I have in you.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fffefd; color: #001320; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fffefd; color: #001320; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.</span></span><br />

<br />
We have been looking for a home of our own since August this year. We have looked at about 20 places in Gold Beach and put offers on 6 of those. Here's the break down:<br />
<br />
House #1 - Rejected counter offer. Another buyer had a higher offer.<br />
House #2 - Rejected first offer.<br />
House #3 - Rejected first offer.<br />
House #4 - "Short" sale. While waiting 2 months for a price opinion, put offers on #5 & #6...<br />
House #5 - Rejected first offer. Loan requirements {pest and dry rot}.<br />
House #6 - Rejected counter offer.<br />
<br />
Back to house #4 - Accepted our offer.<br />
Now the process begins... We hope everything goes smoothly from here on out, but we'll see.
<br />
