Movin’ On Up

Dustin Wright — Mon, 05 Dec 2005 00:34:53 +0000

We began moving our stuff into our new house this weekend, but did not get very far. My mom was able to watch Rachael for us, which was a huge help, but not having any help to move all of our stuff was tirring and discouraging. I guess that that is one of those things that we left behind in CA; our friends that always helped us with these kinds of things. Oh well, they’ll be here soon.

There is just so much left to do to feel like we are all moved in and to be ready for Christmas.

It’s Closing Time

Well, it finally happened, we closed on our house today. We had a lot of obsticles to overcome, but God has seen us through them to provide us with a home to live in. Just two months ago we were going about our lives in an apartment 1/3 of the size of our house for the same price that we pay for our house in CA. We believed that God willed for us to move out here to Texas and buy this house, so we packed up and moved; leaving behind family, friends, our jobs and much more. But God brought us out here safely, provided us a place to live (through my mom) until we were able to get the house, provided a job for both Alina and I, and made all of the financial things work out for us.

I have to say that until the day before our walkthrough I doubted that we would get the house, but God really demonstrated what His power could overcome (although these things were huge from our perspective, the were tiny to God, but He still cared and still provided).

I just want to take a minute to thank Alison and John for all of their help in opening up their home for us and inconveniencing themselves to help us in getting established out here. Withought them, it would have been nearly impossible for us to make the move.

I also want to thank my mom for everything she has done for us. She let us stay with her rent free for two months as we struggled to get the jobs that we needed to buy the house. I also want to thank her for sacrificing so much to be out here with us, and for being there for Rachael as well. She has done more for our attitutdes and happieness than she could know. Thank you, we love you.

I also want to thank Kris and Jennifer, our friends, who have given us financial help to make all of this possible. They have also been great in helping us to remain positive through the struggles that we faced in getting the house. We look forward to seeing them again soon.

Getting the House

We did the walkthrough for our house (and Kris’) today, which took about 6 hours. Although there were some minor problems with the house they will be fixed by early next week, and the good news is that we are going to be able to get the house. With alina getting her job and the job I have and with Jeff renting with us we will be able to afford it. We are scheduled to close on the house next week on Tuesday or Wednesday, and assuming nothing changes dramatically we will be able to start moving stuff into the house, our house, next weekend

The House is Finished

We got the call this week that our house is finished and that the builder is ready to close on it. The furthest we were able to push it off was to the week of Thanksgiving. Hopefully by then we will be ready to go, if not they will have to sell the house to somone else. Anyway, please pray that God would work everything out.
