Update on house: Good news!

Well we got good news on the house!!! After a very stressful long week we got the 2nd opinion we needed...so things can still move forward with the house! There is still minor foundation problems that are going to be corrected through the builder and an outside company before we can close.

 Our home sits on a down hill slope so we get a ton of water run off...that compiled with the very excessive(yes blessed) rain fall amounts this year led to foundation problems. Thankfully the foundation problems can be repaired and should not continue to cause problems structurally...as long as they get enough drainage solutions worked out for the property. Most of that should be resolved next week!

Despite the stress in the uncertainty I just really felt like God had led us to this location and property and somehow things would work out still. I knew even if the worst case scenario happened and all our plans crumbled that God was still in control...so we had no choice but to trust in his plan. Everything seems to be smoothing out now and we are definitely thanking God for this new perspective, a lesson learned, and ultimately for taking care of us! 

Truth be told without all this excessive rain (unlike any other summer before) we may not have been aware of all the drainage issues until next spring when it was too late to have the builder correct them. Yes, the rain caused issues/defects with foundation, but it also may have saved us  from being blindsided down the road.

God wants to be a part in every detail of our lives if we allow Him. Though we had allowed a lot of fear to creep into our hearts this week about the outcome I know ultimately we have a God we can turn to for guidance and peace in all circumstances!

In other news about the house it is obviously almost done! Everything inside is pretty much complete except for flooring (carpet/wood). Yesterday they were installing kitchen backsplash and appliances...the kitchen is definitely my favorite room in the house. 

Then they have clean up to do and final touches here and there. Monday they lay sod in front yard and finish wood beams on the front porch then outside will be done as well. We close two weeks from today! So excited:))

On top of getting good news on the house today I am so thankful for this perfect weather. The boys and I enjoyed a picnic at the park this evening:)

My handsome little man still hanging out and eating with mom long after big bro was off playing!
