Much has happened since my last update...of those 9 that we were going to see, like 4 of them already had pending contracts so we didn't end up seeing very many and unfortunately did not find "the one." We've since decided to look in some other areas and be open minded about what God might have for our future plans. So we started looking a little more north than we had originally planned and found a great deal on a "fixer-upper" HUD home in Punta Gorda. We put in an offer and were out bid by $1000. So close, yet so far...Honestly though, at this point I just expect to hear that our offers been rejected or beat out so I wasn't too emotional about it.
Again, the search was on...a few more days of looking around led us to North Port where we saw a string of 3 or 4 houses we liked and we decided to put an offer in on one of them. We submitted it on Wednesday afternoon and found out this morning that we are the only offer "on the table". Unfortuneately it's bank owned so because the seller is an institution instead of a person, the decision as to whether or not our offer is accepted may take a few days - giving more time for us to sit and wait and also more time for better offers to come in.
So we'll see what happens....I'll keep you all posted!

Praying that this is the one! I know you all have been waiting and looking and hoping and praying for a while now, and I'm confident that God is going to bless your efforts to trust Him with the purchase of a house. Can't wait to hear about the final decision!
