I quick emailed the realtor that night who was recommended to me by my Mom and told her we could start actively looking for homes now (I had been corresponding with her since Jan 11 but we were unable to actively look at homes since we didn't know what Tom's new salary would be or even if he was going to be offered the permanent position). THE VERY NEXT DAY (April 6th), she sent me a house that she said would be perfect for us. It had everything we wanted and more, so I showed Tom the house and he agreed that we needed to go see it as soon as possible. On April 16, 11 days after getting the word of Tom's position, we sat in the realtor's office signing our autographs on the contracts for this house!
Thinking about everything that has happened in this short time, I cannot believe how things have unfolded. From January until April, we have been waiting, waiting, waiting! Now, everything is reversed and it is go, go, GO...and at warp speed!
So our settlement is set for May 18th! Please pray, if you think of it, that everything will go well with the inspections (we have the plumber checking out the pipes tomorrow to make sure everything is ok), and the appraisal of the house by our lending bank later this week. Will try to keep you posted as things happen!

that is so exciting!!!
where is the new house??
Hainesport...7 miles from church! :) No more driving from PA to go to church!!!!
I'm so excited for you!! Can't wait to see the house!
I am so happy for you, too. You mentioned on my blog that we should have a CD. Wendell records us every practice so we can critique ourselves. When we were at Cape May one of the church members took a lot of pics and also partially recorded one song. He forwarded it to Wendell and he sent it on to the band members. Christy asked about it, too, so I forwarded it to her, but I didn't hear from her since. Maybe she is too busy. If you really want to see it I will forward it to you too, but I don't think I have your current e- address. Love ya Grandma
Congratulations, we'll certainly pray for God to lead in all aspects of this new exciting move.
Congratulations! What an exciting time!
