It's official! Our 1st home!

Wanted to post something about it earlier, but didn't want to jinx it. But Yes! I just got a call from aunt Jean a minute ago... we are now the official owners of this house!!!

After an exhaustingly long search, we finally bought a house! We've been asking God for a best possible house that our money can buy... don't let us buy anything that's just not that good!

So we've made plenty of offers, and then all those deals either fell thru because of weird credit problems or because some other crazy buyers would out bid us in such a depressing market.

Anyway, as things turned out, this house probably is the best deal out of all the offers that we've made in the past! Plus, we now can actually qualify for the tax credit whereas previously we couldn't qualify for...

So yeah, the journey was long and frustrating, we were even close on giving up(giving up buying a house in the San Gabriel Valley area at least), but God certainly remained faithful and helped us out. Things for sure couldn't possibly worked out if we weren't 'lucky'. But of course, we know there's no such thing as 'luck'! ;)

Plus, we were also shopping for new appliances and tiles for the past week..., it's rather amazing that after we've done our research and thought have found ourselves the best deals in town... then all of a sudden, 'angel' salesmen would appear and give us even better deals that what we were happy with!!! God, You are amazing. Thank You so very very much! :)

Romans 11
33Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!
34"Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?"
35"Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay him?"
36For from him and through him and to him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen.

For the sake of our future house, I've even "fasted" for the past 6 months..., not food, but my favorite drinks- soda pops! So I guess it is licit for me to drink up tonite!!! Yipee! ;)
