Answered prayer!

It looks like we found a house! Of course we haven't actually seen it in person yet, but in our online search, we found that housing prices are considerably higher in Cincinnati than they are here. In order to maintain our standard of living we'd likely have to pay hundreds more per month on a house payment. Or we could live in a tiny little, less-nice-than-our-current-place home. Neither option was enticing.

Then we found it. {cue angels singing} The perfect house, in the perfect neighborhood, for the right price (exactly the same as we pay now, in fact). Even better than our current house. Right next to a big grassy field. Bike trail to the YMCA. Neighborhood pool and playground.

Only one problem: someone else beat us to it. So we went back to square one, but we couldn't find anything that compared or even came close. Then Jason called the realtor on that dream house and found out the people who beat us to it, fell through. So we quickly put in a good faith deposit and found out last night that it's ours. Only after a couple days of praying about it. And I really trusted God on this one. Sometimes I trust Him but at the same time worry that what He has planned for us won't line up with what *I* want. This time, I just *knew* that whatever He had for us would be perfect for us. As if I could ever doubt such an awesome God!!!

I won't publicly post the listing but I'll add pictures to the blog later once we have a chance to see it and finalize details early next week.
