House Hunting

We seem to be in a whirlwind right now (then again, when are we NOT in a whirlwind?), Jer and I are busy pondering, praying and pursuing new housing, but this time, we won't be renting (yes, I know you still sorta rent from the bank until you have it paid off, but we'll still be building equity, and that is important.)  Wow, so much thought and prayer goes into this BIG, no, HUGE decision.  We know we need God's wisdom and we've been seeking godly advice.

We've found a place that we are pursuing.  It's still under construction (to be finished by the end of March, or at least by the first week of April).  It's in a nice neighborhood (we have heard great things about it), plus we know quite a few families that live in this housing development.  Oh and there are lots of families with young kids.  About the house:  Upstairs has 2 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms.  Unfinished basement will have 2 more bedrooms (one of the bedrooms will have to be finished sooner rather than later), 1 bathroom, family room and the laundry/utility room.  It also has a 2 car garage.  I love the kitchen (so far), it has a pantry and a raised breakfast bar.  The bedrooms are bigger then our current bedrooms.  It has a goofy shaped but decent sized yard.  Oh, and one factor that I really like about it is the location - it's on a cul-de-sac and it's near the interstate. It's also here in Spearfish. 

Right now, we're praying that God would continue to lead and give us wisdom.  We're going to continue to pursue this house unless God closes the door or until we have the keys in hand.    If you think of us, pray for us as we continue on this housing adventure.  Thank you.
