New Year, New House
PostedLike I said in my previous post, my husband and I really started the new year 2011 with a bang! We just bought a house and we're both super excited! :)...I'll post some pictures perhaps in the next couple of weeks.... We actually can't wait to move in! But the seller was asking if she can stay in the house for a month after the closing. Her place won't be available until end of January. We both agreed since we're not in a rush to move in anyway. We still need to give our landlord a 60 day notice to vacate the apartment that we are currently renting. And besides, the seller is used to be my husband's next door neighbor. How did it happen? The house that we just bought is next to the house that my husband previously owned, before the divorce from his first wife. The ex-wife doesn't live there anymore, in case you're wondering. She sold the house one year after the divorce. At first, my husband really wanted to get his house back because, according to him, he put a lot of effort and time fixing it. So he tried to buy it twice from his ex-wife but she refused the offer just to spite him. Obviously, the house is not really meant for us. My husband even said that he's happy and thankful that it didn't push through because the property that we just bought is far better and twice bigger than what he had. Now I understand why God didn't allow us to get his old house back.
But does it really have to be the house next door? Well, we never thought that we would be buying a house just next door. We've been searching for a house since 2006 and we've probably seen, at least, close to a thousand homes. I've already reached the point where I feel like giving up searching. I got sooo burned out! :) But now that we finally found the house that we like and without a doubt is the right one for us, I've come to the realization that patience really pays off in the end. It's really true that good things come to those who wait. Although waiting is hard but i must say, it's all worth it. :)
