Exactly five weeks and six days ago our landlords called us from Sri Lanka and told us that they were coming home to America, and that they wanted their house back (they were very nice about it), so, unfortunately, we had to move. Brandi and I had been talking about buying a house for years, but other factors in life sort of prevented us from ever moving beyond talk. We both knew instantly that being forced to move quickly was just the push we needed.

Within a week of that phone call from our landlords we had qualified for a loan and found a house on the Internet that we were interested in. Within a week after that we had been inside the house, felt like it was the house for us, and were making an offer on it. Fast-forward to less than four weeks from that point, and here we are today ...

We closed on our house today. We officially own a 4 bedroom home in the country that sits on 2 acres of land. (We had no idea how HUGE 2 acres is until we saw the survey today!)

It's a great place, and it's more than we could have dreamed for. God's been good to us. Thanks to everyone out there who has prayed for us through this whole process. We'll be moving on May 9, so by all means keep praying.
