I will repeat the title of this post again by saying GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME! I say this because unfortunately we were unable to close on our scheduled date because of extreme circumstances not of our own cause. We had a major setback that could have cost us our home that we put so much effort and love into (but GOD is good) and we will close early April.
We were very disappointed but extremely grateful that prayers are answered and blessings came. Even when we posted the pictures from the previous post we were still uncertain of the outcome of our home. But now we can say with great joy that we will be in our house.
We do not know the actual day we will be closing because we are waiting to see if an extension was granted and if (hopefully) our lock rate will still be the same. So once again we have the waiting phase. I did the walkthrough with our PM and everything looks great. My husband was working (thank God) and so I went with my mother-in-law and viewed the house. Once again "I love it" LOL! The funny thing is I took our camera but was unable to take pictures because I really don't know how to use it LOL! My husband always fiddles with it and basically learned it and kept telling me that I should use it and practice with all the different settings...well...I didn't. The settings were off and I didn't know how to fix it and then I thought I made it worse. Crazy! I finally was able to somewhat fix it but then it was on some delayed timer from when I pressed down the button it took about 10 secs of countdown before it actually snapped! I was done! So I didn't want to go back around the house snapping and holding my arm out until it took the picture. Here are the pics I took.
 |
| My stove and microwave from the side. Kinda dark though...settings ugh... |
 |
| A better picture from the side. I love my gas stove. I haven't cooked on one in a long time. Can't wait to use it! |
 |
| View of the kitchen into the great room. Paperwork on the island saying a radon test is being conducted. |
 |
| Kitchen again. The wood color changes depending upon the lighting in the room. I love that! |
 |
| My fireplace. This was a must. We have a huge wood burning fireplace in our current home which I love so had to have this. |
 |
| View of the floor and carpet |
 |
| Kitchen view. My mother-in-law is standing where the refrigerator will go. |
 |
| View going upstairs. Will apply Liquid Gold on my banisters to make them shine! |
 |
| My morning room! |
 |
| These are the doors to the office. I will be replacing them with glass paneled french doors. |
So these are all the pics that I was able to take at the time with my camera. I hope to be able to get back in the house with my husband so he can see or he will have a reveal day :o( he is too anxious LOL! Our inspector came in and was conducting a radon test so our PM couldn't open the windows to show me how they operated. (But windows are simple I see how they latch and open, no biggie) He left the radon detector downstairs and it should have been taken out yesterday so we will have to wait for the results.
I am so happy for everyone who closed on time and got your keys. I haven't been posting on your blogs but I will be. :o) Your homes are beautiful!
I have learned that a lot of people (definitely devils in disguise) will love to steal your joy and blessings but God is able and above all! We are truly blessed and loved from the many family members and friends (including my amazing SR and even our amazing loan officers) who offered words of encouragement and prayers! God never let the devil defeat what his blessing was for us! God may not come when you want Him but He is always on time! Truly blessed and grateful! I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed day! All smiles in the Hill household!
