I Guess We'll Wait!!!

Well, Nick and I have decided that we'll wait to buy a house. We'll get all of our other bills paid off first, then buy a Brand New House. We went looking at some new houses the other day, and fell in love with one. It has an awesome floor plan, a little over 2,800 square feet, and is only around $40,000 more then a used house. Plus they will give us a 10 year warranty, and we can do a lot of sweat equity. So anything we know how to do, or want to do, they will let us as long as we don't have to be licensed to do it. So Nick will frame the house, then we'll do the dry wall, paint, tile, cabinets, electrical (just in the house), and all sorts of stuff like that. So we'll have done most of the house ourselves! We are so excited.

We would have had our bills paid off before, but Nick, with the construction, kept being out of work, and then he got a cut in pay, then I lost my job, and it just seemed no matter what we do we can't get a head. But now it seems like we are able to get bills paid off and get ourselves a head.

Sometimes it seems that everyone around us keeps getting things and getting a head, while we just keep falling behind no matter what we do or how hard we try. But you know, we are so thankful for our trials and tribulations, because they have and are making us stronger and bringing us closer together. Now we thought we were close before, but after the last trials, we really have become a closer family. For about 4 years now we are making sure to say family prayers and read the Book Of Mormon together every night. It has really helped all of us. We are so thankful and grateful to Heavenly Father for the blessing that we do have, and for us having the gospel in our lives. We would be lost without it. And thank you to all of our family and friends for your prayers and help. We love you all very much!!!

Sorry for going like that! Thanks for reading!!!
