Amazingness

With all the hustle, bustle, and excitement of this whole home-buying thing, I realized the other day that I have been forgetting to give credit for this opportunity where credit is way past due.

As I was standing on top of some random mountain somewhere between Cedar and Brian Head, looking out and seeing familiar places in almost every direction and marveling in the awesome beauty of it all, I started thinking about how much of a hand God has in everything, including our current situation. Everything that has happened so far has been completely in our favor, like everything is going perfectly. It almost makes me worried that something is going to go horribly wrong soon, but for the meantime, I need to recognize how lucky and blessed we are.

 The OTHER side of Cedar Breaks

Our future home!

So, seemingly somewhat randomly, one day we decided to go to a few different lenders in town to see if they would approve us for a mortgage loan after our bank turned us down (boooo!). We got pre-approval at one, started looking at a few houses, picked out a foreclosure that had been on the market a long time, and before we knew it, we made a few offers, the bank accepted, and we are now in the process of buying a house! CRAZY! These are a few pictures from the realtor's website. More will definitely come after everything is all said and done (which will be no later than September 21st!!)
