Grown Up Emily

I am a Lutheran school teacher who is (quickly) learning what it is like to be an adult. My husband (also a Lutheran school teacher), Caleb, and I have recently purchased a new home and are taking each day as the Lord gives it to us. This is a sporadic tale of our journey of faith, love, and pullin up our britches when times get tough! We love to see what God has in store for us.

Last day in August

So it has been a couple weeks since we signed the purchase agreement for our home.  August 9th, to be exact.

We are still waiting.

and waiting

and waiting.

We were forced to also get an appraisal on the home, which cost more money. AND it came back valued at the exact price we payed for it. WAH :(  **Addendum- God takes care of His people.  We are pretty sure that someone, who wants to remain nameless, paid for this out of his pocket.  We don't have to worry about paying it back. God is SO good. **

Buying a home is SO exciting....and yet it sucks too.  Even though we are saving money with our loan company...we still are shelling out stuff here and there. And then we still want to live a normal life? Not happening.  I know this year is going to be the year where I learn how to literally pinch my pennies.  It is probably a good thing since we haven't had TONS of reasons to be so tight pursed.

(In exciting news, we are flying next weekend to see my lovely friend SAVANNAH get married to the love of her life, Noe.  She is one of my closest high school friends who HAS to get married before she goes back to Spain.  She can't get her visa until she is, so Noe is flying back to the US, last minute, to marry her! )  :)  Love makes me happy.

In other news,  SCHOOL has begun again.  Caleb and I have been living and working out of our classrooms for the past two and a half weeks getting ready for students.  I finished up my home-visits and Caleb had his Middle School picnic.  Now we are just putzing here and there at school , doing last minute things that ALWAYS pop up.

Sorry this post is dull. I want to tell you more but nothing will happen until we hear about our loan being approved/processed/ready for closing.

    Buying a house is an exciting step but also a HUGE frustration!
    Sometimes, it can make you feel like you are going insane! LOL!
