Today I brought our earnest money check to our closing attorney's office. Mom came with me, and when I was done she took me out to eat. She is so generous! The chicken salad sandwich was really good. :) And, since we were somewhat close to my future home, we got to drive by the house so Mom could see it. She approves.
When I checked the mail after getting home, I saw a package with our wedding photos that I had ordered. It was fun looking through them again, not on the computer. One day soon, I'll start putting them together in a scrapbook. Fun times are ahead!

Day 24
It seems like I just started this 30 day challenge, and now I only have 6 more posts to write after today.
Random fact Wednesday: Possibly my favorite breakfast combination is a fried egg with avocado and tomato. It might sound weird, but it is so good! Especially with a slightly runny egg yolk. Mmmm.
I just finished packing the 5th box for moving. Making slow and steady progress! I'll try to pack more later today, after I do laundry and make a fresh batch of granola. I love being home all day. It gives me time to work on things that need to happen. :)
Happy Hump Day everyone!

Day 23
One year and 8 months ago today, Quentin and I started dating. Seems like I've known him for longer than that.
To be honest, when we started dating I was a bit skeptical about it ending in marriage. I hardly knew Quentin at all, so I wasn't sure if our beliefs and values would match. Also I didn't want people to make fun of our height difference. (I'm 5ft, he is 6ft 3 in.) That was a silly reason, now that I look back.
Today I am so glad that, despite my initial skepticism, I said yes to dating Quentin. I found out that all of our most important beliefs did actually match. And I got used to the height difference; now it makes me feel more protected. (and when I can't reach something, Quentin can get it for me)
In other news, the sun is out! :)

Day 22
The sun came out for a few minutes just now. It was good to see sunshine again, since it's been hiding for the past 5 days. :)
I found out that South Carolina is flooded in multiple cities, with interstates and bridges closed. This hurricane is no joke. I pray that everyone is safe.
Totally random fact: on Mondays I usually give Mabel some hairball remedy medicine. I put it in her food bowl when it's empty, and won't give her more food until she eats the medicine. The problem is that she refuses to eat it. So she'll go for an entire day without eating. I usually end up having to put the medicine on her paw so she'll lick it off, which she hates. You would think that after multiple times of this happening, she would get the idea that if she just eats the medicine from her bowl then I wouldn't have to put it on her paw. Silly cat.

Day 21
It is very windy today. We could feel it pushing on our car on the way to church this morning. Yeah, random fact...
Here are some verses from 1 Timothy, which I've been reading through.
"For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men " - 2:5-6
"Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come." - 4:7-8

Day 20
We are officially under contract for the house. :) Now we have to get it inspected and find an escrow agent to help with the title stuff at closing. There's a lot that goes into buying a house. But it's worth it!
Oh yeah, my parents' house is under contract now. They're getting a rental house in about 2 weeks. It's kinda funny that everyone in my immediate family is moving this year. It's a fun change though.
In other news, there's a flash flood warning for our area due to the rain left over from a hurricane. Thankfully we're not in a flood plane. I hope everyone stays safe out there!

Day 19
Oh my goodness, I can hardly believe it!
The sellers gave a counter offer and we accepted it. We are signing the contract for the house tonight. What? Is this really happening? My dream house is basically ours. I'm super excited!
We're not able to move until November, due to our apartment lease. But that gives us extra time to get ready. I think I might go pack a few things in a bit. :) Ah, I'm so excited!
God is so good, and generous beyond what we deserve!

Day 18
We gave our apartment staff our 60 day notice of intention to move. And we put an offer on the house I wrote about. We are still waiting to hear back from the seller, to know if they accepted or if they have a counter offer. Waiting for something like this is kinda hard. I'm so excited that we might get to have our own house by the end of November! I kinda want to start packing today. But I guess it's still not 100 percent certain until our offer is accepted. There is a good chance though!
