Our new house

Our new house! We came across this foreclosure just in time. It has been bank owned since January. We put in our offer Wednesday afternoon and had to participate in an online auction that evening. We won the highest bid! The bank approved our offer on Thursday and we are closing in less than three weeks! The MLS listing has been removed and the signs in the front yard (thanks to Josh). We are still taking it all in. Sorry, couldn't get all the house in the picture. To the right is a two car attached garage.

The house is in a great neighborhood! It has 6 bedrooms, 3 and half baths. HUGE!! It is almost 4,000 square feet. The MLS listing says 3,000 but apparently they finished in a few extra rooms with out a builiding permit. It needs a little tlc but nothing major. Just paint and carpet. The best part is we got this house for the price of a condo in Wilmington. It is 2 and a half times bigger than our house in Wilson and we are paying almost the say amount a month for this house. That's how we know it was completely God! Josh and I were shocked when they took our offer because it was so low for the size and location of the house. That's how God works!



We took pictures while we were having a builder give us price quotes on a few minor things that need to be fixed. This is the master bedroom. It has its own private sitting area down the stairs.

We are so excited! We have been praying and fasting for a while about buying a home in Wilmington. When God opened the door, He opened it wide! We have a few hurdles to jump in the next three weeks but we know God is more than able to handle them!
