Y'all, we are blessed!

Ok, some of you know, Trent and found a house we really like! We went to the bank to get approved for a loan, and we are! We made an offer and the owners accepted!
Here is the front of the house

It's 1,700 square-feet. It was built in 2005 and it has all new siding and roof (thanks to the hail storm in April, 2008) It has 3 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, dining room area, living room (with a wood burning fireplace), kitchen and eat-in kitchen! And, a 2 car garage and a little shed! We got a really good deal too...and they are giving us the stove, microwave, dishwasher, fridge and a riding lawn mower!

God is SO good! We've been asking/believing for the "right" house and it's been a source of frustration trying to find something we both agree on and we never found a house we had peace with! But, this house has everything we both wanted in our first house and we have total and complete peace!! We love it! We know this is God's blessing! It's not because we have such good jobs (we do have good jobs but they are not our source!), it's not because we did everything "right" in saving/budgeting (we have been saving and been wise with our money), but it's because we believed God's promises! He has such good things planned for all of us and I am amazed every day by His goodness!
