Blessings

I thought it was about time to give you an update on the happenings from the Kemper home. Things are going really good. God has just been blessing us so much. It has been wonderful. We continue to pray that we are in His will. Let me share a little more.
Okay, so most of you know we were looking at buying the home that is pictured in my previous post. Well, it is a go. We are very excited. God has opened every door and done even more. Our closing date on the house is January 31st. Wow huh, that is coming up quick.(no I have not started packing) We are planning on moving in the weekend of Feb. 8-10. This will give me a week to paint the walls the color I want and put the blinds up and light/fans. It is a new home, but I really don't want white walls. I am so excited to get it all ready. Okay back to how God has blessed us. Today I get a call from the loan company needing more info, no problem there. I asked the lady what interest rate we ended up locking in. She looks it up and come to find out they didn't lock one in. Yeah, that is not good. I was a little annoyed at that moment, but just thought okay whatever happens happens. We originally thought we would have about a 6% rate. So, I get an email from her with our locked rate at 5.5%. How crazy is that? God is so good. Well, that is not all that God did today. My insurance company calls me today to verify stuff for the house and give me my monthly cost. The loan company had it estimated at about $66 a month. I finished all the stuff for insurance and she tells me my cost will be $25 a month. Yeah!!! So, with the rate being lower and insurance being lower we are saving about $75 a month. How cool is that?! I don't remember if I told you all this before but the company we are buying our house from is buying out our lease and paying the fees to break the lease. And they are paying $9,000 to closing cost. Mind you they took about $32,000 off of the house. Yeah, I think God is taking care of us. I have such a peace about it all. Ben & I have been getting along great during it all. That is huge because it is usually very stressful around our home when we are buying a house. God is so good all of the time!!!!! I have been thanking him all day. Oh, I almost forgot. Also, today I got a call from the company we rent from and they wanted to show the house today at 1:15. I had about an hour to get the house looking good. Thank goodness I keep up on it. I was running around crazy though. My plan today was to spot clean the carpets, well that didn't happen. Maybe tomorrow. One more thing went good today, I fixed my little vacuum cleaner. It stopped working last week and I really need it to clean my stairs. I was a little proud of myself on fixing it. So, all in all today has been wonderful. I want to thank all of you that have been praying for us during this process. Please continue to lift us up.
I will try to post more often. Miss you all! Please come visit us. We will have plenty of room for visitors in February. :~)
