House-hunting done at last!

Those of you who know us probably know that we have been searching for a home to make our own for the longest time now. The search began even before we got married, and it has been a really challenging, time-consuming, and often frustrating quest.

After more than a year of searching, we’ve finally decided on a place! We just want to thank God and give Him all the glory for guiding and leading us as we did our research, prayed and pondered on this major financial decision.

It’s not a 100% perfect purchase, nor the proverbial dream house, but we've got to remind ourselves to be realistic and start somewhere (we're no millionaires!). God has been exceedingly gracious to us- and we will continue to commit this to Him and to trust Him with this. More importantly, it’s about the home, and not the house, isn’t it?

The place will be ready sometime in the 2nd quarter of next year; the next big thing to do would be to go furniture hunting! :D

Gosh, we’ve never felt so grown-up (or so broke)!!

Congratulations to the new home-owners! And sounds like you don't have to wait too long for it either!

nothing beats having your own place, can hammer nails anywhere you want ;) haha. I'm sure you'll have loads of fun doing the furniture hunting!
