Home is where the improvements are..... part 4

I'm sorry I haven't caught you up on the story. I'm the living dead today. Suuupppper tired. Hope I'm not coming down with something. bleck!!

So, back to the story:

It was last Tuesday (a week and a half ago), and we lost the little, ugly, perfect forest house around noon. That very afternoon, of the same day, I am looking for houses online and find one that is cheaper... bigger... and updated just two blocks from the little green forest house. We drive out to see it, and peer in the windows (they are both vacant and owned by banks). It is a pink house. From now on they will be known as the small green house and the nice pink house.

We call our realtor and plan to see the pink house the next day. It just went on the market the same day we lost the green house. Wow!! Maybe this is what God wanted all along. Maybe it came on the same day we lost the other so that we would be poised to find it. We'd already be sold on the neighborhood, and looking - and blessed with a better house. Yes, that is what God must be up to....

We see the house the next day - it has 4 bedrms instead of 3, it has 3 bathrms instead of 2. The kitchen is updated with all new appliances and a double oven. Woo woo!! Give a shout out to double ovens!! The house has all new carpet, nice hardwood floors, nice bathrooms, nice arrangement of bathrooms, a large laundry/mud room, a HUGE three car garage with a pantry, solid wood ceilings with beams, three fireplaces.... I'm in heaven.

The land isn't soo hot. But it is land, and I'll take it. I mean, in Colorado, you're in the house most of the year due to weather anyway, right?? Summer is nice, but relatively short...

Oh, and it has a large lovely barn with water and electric. I can envision where the chickens and rabbits would be fitting.. (perfectly in the old horse stalls)

We plan to make an offer. I mean, shoot - even if we paid full price, we'd still be making a deal as it was cheaper than our bid on the green house. So that is the plan. Call the realtor of the house and put our bid in.

I figured that God took us down this path so we could end up with this much larger blessing. Yes, it was closer to the main road, so a little more noisy - and the land wasn't amazing - like the green house... but God knew what was best, and this must be it.

Right?????
