Atlanta

We took a trip a couple of weeks ago to Atlanta to look at the house one more time.  The history of the home is as follows:  Matt found it online and fell in love immediately back in November.  I thought he was crazy because the home had a water leak, roof leak, and a few other problems.  It is a short sale.  We put our offer on the home at the end of November.  I finally got to see the home around the first of December and fell in love as well.  We waited until a few weeks ago to hear back from the bank.  They finally came back requesting a little more money.  We are pushed to our limits now.  I told Matt that we had to go back and see it one more time.  I needed to know if the home was worth the price.  Matt's parents graciously drove to Dallas and then flew with the kids and me to Atlanta to meet Matt.  We got there late Friday night around 11pm. The kids were exhausted but they did awesome!  It was so great to have Matt's parents there with us.  The next morning, Mark (Matt's brother) flew in town too.  He works in the mortgage business so it was great to have him there.  We all came to the consensus that this is our home if everything works out.  

Both banks have approved our offer now and they want to close at the end of the month!  This is crazy!  We wouldn't move for probably another month after all of the work is finished on the home.  I'm so nervous to move across the country with no friends, but I truly feel like this is where God is leading us.  To be continued!

Pa helped out with Carmen on the flight.  She was a trooper as long as she was being fed!

We met Matt at the airport!  Yes, Roman wore his spiderman costume!

Roman did amazing on the flight.  He sat next to Grandma both flights.
