And we are MOVING!!!

So I have been working on this post gr over a week now. Every time I go to add or change it my mind races at the magnitude of what God has done for us through all this and I become very overwhelmed and feel like not one word I write could ever be good enough to adequately explain what He has done. But here is my best attempt ;)
I feel like my head is spinning!! So we decided to put our house on the market about a week ago. The thought process was that it would take a month or two to sell and then we would begin to look at places to move to. WRONG!! Our house was under contract in less than 24hrs and we put a contract on another 4 days later! Never did I imagine that this would happen! So now we are moving into what we believe to be our dream home and I couldn't be happier about it!
But here is the even cooler part in my opinion! When all of this started and we were deciding where to move there was a lot to consider. Get into a good neighborhood with good schools, make sure that is was a house that we could grow into, something that was in our budget, not wanting to make a mistake and have to move again and a gazillion other things along with it! Knowing all of this is a tad bit overwhelming to say the least. I found myself feeling very anxious about the move and not knowing what to do. So I did the only thing I know to do when I start to feel that way. PRAY! I asked God to please help us make to right decisions that are in line with where he wants us to be. That it would be very clear to us on which house we should be in. I asked that we BOTH feel drawn to one house without influence from the other. After a very full day of looking at houses we went home and didn't say much about the day. Then sitting at work the next day I get an email from Jonathan say he couldn't stop thinking about the same house I was!! That was just mind blowing!! But the list price on the house was too far out of our price range. We decided that we would just put in an offer a little lower than we could afford and see what happened. After we put the offer in and we didn't hear anything back for a full day we thought for sure that they wouldn't take our offer. Nope! They did!! We were so shocked and happy at the say time! These were just a few of the ways we felt like God pointing us toward this house. There have been numerous things through out this whole process that have blown me away. God has used the smallest little details to confirm our decisions. For example. A random insurance person we talk to about the house that happens to live in the same neighborhood raving about how much he and his wife love it and how good the elementary school, that is 3 streets away from our house, is. The inspection of the house was almost spotless, other than a few cosmetic type things. Finding out that someone i know works at the daycare we want him to go to and can get us a discount!! Ok maybe those last few aren't so small :) Regardless, big or small He has been all over this and I am overwhelming blessed and humbled! As if I wasn't before, thus has made me so excited about the future of our family!! Thank you Father for your undeserved blessings!
