AT LAST.......

......OUR LOAN HAS BEEN APPROVED! our waiting days are over, because God has definitely come through.......#in our Beyonce singing voice to the lyrics of Etta James, At Last!

Our patience, perseverance, and passion for answered prayer is powerful!  GOD always says YES!!!  Much gratitude to those who shared words of encouragement and for holding the vision for us.  We are forever grateful for God, RH and our fellow bloggers!  It has been a long journey since February and the other blessing is that I was able to do lots of research and learned a great deal about the minor and major details of building a home.  Now engage me on sharing our first dance song from our wedding which fits perfectly for this occasion as well.  Let me also remind you that our Lot #28 is the same date we were married on--February 28, 2000.   WE ARE SO EXCITED!!

    1. Thank you WJ, we can't wait either! We get to finally close up the gap in the cul-da-sac!! We met a new neighbor yesterday and she said, when they start digging the hole the house shakes like there is an earthquake. This means we will be shaking up some houses in a few weeks! Yay!

  9. When my wife and I saw the headline, we were hoping for the best. We have been praying for you two. We are so thrilled that you were approved.

    1. KevinC & Lauren, thank you for your prayers! It feels so good to be supported by a community of people who understand this journey! I read your post regarding your home being your "forever" home and it brought me to tears because that's what this home means to both my husband and I. The other exciting news--we get to build the Rome with the porch!!! I am thrilled!!!! If we had been approved earlier, we would have built elevation C because our SR did not know it was available to our community when I first asked about it. The timing has been impeccable for us to adjust our selections and special custom requests.
