Granny's Birthday and some news...

Friday after work I picked up Makenzie from school. We went to Oma and Papa's for Granny's birthday. Oma made lasagna, salad and Texas toast. It was SO good. We had fuggy the whale ice cream cake. It was sooooo good. Makenzie's favorite part of the cake is the eye. She claimed that piece as soon as the cake came out to the table. She ate the entire piece. Uncle Greg, Aunt Becky, Uncle Steven, Jaime and Grandpa joined us in celebrating as well.

I haven't mentioned this in any post before b/c I totally believe in "jinxing" myself. : ) BUT... Makenzie and I are looking for a house to move into. I have been searching for something in the Indian Head/Bryans Road/Pomfret/Marbury/Ripley area. I put a bid on one house and ended up being out bid. That's OK b/c I put it in God's hands, prayed about it, and trusted him to lead me to where I belong. Recently I found another house that is small, cute, and perfect for Makenzie and I. I instantly fell in love with it and felt like it was right. I put in an offer last week. My realtor called me yesterday and told me the seller agreed to all terms and conditions and would even pay %3 of closing if I paid the other %3. I agreed and the contract is in the process of being written. The house is in Indian Head. I am assuming that this is now "my house" but I will not put anything down in writing on this blog until I sign something b/c of "jinx". LOL Just kidding. Like I said, I have put all of this in God's hands and fully trust him. I am very excited and happy for Makenzie and I. A lot of my family traveled over to the house on Saturday to check it out to make sure I was buying something that wasn't a dud. Or something I would have to dump tons of money into. Everyone said that house was in good condition and a great first house. It needs some fixing up, but I am looking forward to that. I would like to thank Uncle Greg, Aunt Becky, Grandpa, Carl and Denise and Charlie for looking at the house for me this weekend.

Please pray for Makenzie and I as we make the transition of getting a new home and living in it together. It is exciting and scary at the same time.
