What's new

So, we had our offer accepted and are deep in the process of making things happen. We are working on having our loan finalized, and have gotten the inspection done on the home. There are several things that need work, and we are currently waiting to hear back from the seller to see if they will fix the things that we have asked them too. Other than that not much else is new right now. More news hopefully soon...especially since our closing date is suppose to be on the 22nd!!!

A New House?

Upon my sister's request, I hereby promise to desist playing the role of a slacker writer. From here on out I shall do my best to uphold this promise by posting at least once per week. That being said, there is some new news, which is a bit redundant I suppose since old news is no news, that I would like to share. PJ and I have been looking for a house to call our own and we believe that we have found one! We are going in tomorrow to put in an offer, so wish us the best of luck and say a little prayer. Here's a few photos that I took when we toured it, and by a few I mean quite a few. Sorry that some are kind of boring, such as the pic of the closet, but every little detail is important!

I saw this on another blog that I read, and it made me giggle so I wanted to share it with my readers.

Why you should always check your child's homework...



(Here's the reply the teacher received the following day)

Dear Mrs. Jones,

I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer. I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit. I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people were fighting over who would get it. Her picture doesn't show me dancing around a pole. It's supposed to depict me selling the last snow shovel we had at Home Depot. From now on I will remember to check her homework more thoroughly before she turns it in.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Smith

Words to make you think

As a Christian, many times I am faced with difficult questions from non-believers. I am a person who needs time to think things through, and it can be very difficult coming up with an answer. One such question that seems to come up frequently is 'If there is a God, how can he let such bad things in the world happen?' Here is an interesting answer to that very question.

Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her 'How could God let something like this happen?' (regarding Katrina) Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, 'I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?'

An interesting thought for the day.
