Well we are very excited to announce that we have been approved for a loan for a house! Yes, we have the house in Vernal that we are still renting out, but we felt like being in the apartment was just like throwing our money out the window every month, so back in September we started looking for a house in Rock Springs. We found a couple that we liked that we could have fixed up, but they were too complicated to get. Then our Realtor showed us her mother-in-law's house with a cute yard and it was in our budget. We went to two different mortgage people to see if they could get us an affordable loan. the first one said no but the second one said lets give it a try. He really didn't think we could get the loan because of how much money Paul makes but he lets try to find a gray area. Well we found a gray area where we would put a bid on this house and with an accepted offer see what the under-writer would say. Well we waited and waited to hear back and finally last week we got a call. They said it's looking like you are going to get the loan, we just need a few last minute details. We got those all taken care of and on Wednesday they gave us a call, and it was good news! We went and signed some more papers and the mortgage guy said we are going to try and close on this on the 29. That's a really fast closing for a house (20 days) but that's what we are aiming for and we could not be anymore excited! We have truly been blessed by the lord.
Another thing though was that we really wanted to stay in the ward that we are in right now because we love our ward! We have been so blessed to meet such good people and have made a lot of friends in the Rock Springs Ward. Paul and I both have callings now which is really tough to leave, since I just got my calling as a Primary Worker for the sunbeams two weeks ago. But Paul and I both feel that Heavenly Father called us to these callings, even if it was just for a short time, for a reason and we both feel that if Heavenly Father wanted us move to this new ward that he would make it possible for us to get the house. After everything is signed and we get the okay to move in, I know it will be because that's where the lord needs us to be.
Once we do get all moved in the change doesn't stop there we still have a little boy to get ready for and once he does get here there will be even more big changes that involve a lot of diapers. : D
