On the home front...

Well... we're heading back to ATL this weekend to look for houses. Please pray for us. Pray that if one of these houses is the one that God has for us, we will know it when we see it, and if He's not prepared to show it to us yet, we will patiently bide our time and wait until he does. Thanks!

House news...

So it looks like we've lost the house. The seller accepted another offer, and the only way ours will be considered is if something falls through with this one. It seems like the good houses are flying off the market, so we're just not looking much online until right before we head down there again in a week to look at other houses. Please pray that when we see the house that God has for us, we will know it so that we can put in an offer quickly.

House news...

Well... we put an offer in on the house today, but it may be several days before we hear anything, so keep us in your prayers as we wait. There are four other offers on the table, so we just have to hope that ours was good enough to win. Or if not, God's got a better place in mind for us that He hasn't shown us yet. We'll keep you updated.

Our pick

Well... it's about that time. Time for Jim and I to start looking for houses in Atlanta that is.

I went down for a Bridal shower last weekend and spent Friday, Sunday afternoon and Monday looking at houses and getting TONS of pictures to bring back to Jim. Here are the pictures for the one we really like. I'm posting them mostly so that my parents can see the pics (since they're too big to email) but hope the rest of you enjoy them too.

Please pray for us as we search and wait for God's will for us in choosing a house.

In Him,

Ally

I'm standing in the foyer. To the right is a formal sitting room (front) and formal dining room (back).

Still in the foyer. To the left is the half bath and beyond that the kitchen. (Somehow I missed getting a picture of the kitchen.) The den (below) is to the left of the kitchen.

All bedrooms are upstairs. Here is the master bedroom, bathroom and LARGE walk-in closet.

Here I'm standing outside the master getting a picture towards two of the other bedrooms (and I think the hall bathroom).

The hall bathroom would definitely need a new paint color.)

These are two of the three extra bedrooms (the top one has a walk-in closet).

This is the finished part of the basement, which is a BIG plus for us. (It also has an unfinished part for storage!)

Here is another shot of the finished basement. If you walk over to the shelves in the above pictures and take a right, this is what you'll see.

Here is the back yard. This is the one drawback since it's VERY shallow, but it is wide, and the view behind the house will be really pretty in the fall.
