Without looking for it, the perfect house found Brian and I. It is a short sale property in Fullerton. In order for this to really happen, meaning put in an offer, many tasks have to be done very quickly. Today, when Brian and I met with the realtor and lender, I felt as if I was having a panic or anxiety attack. I felt uneasy and indecisive. Looking at everything it seems great, but the actual decision is what is affecting me. All I wanted to do was call my Mom and Dad and ask, "Should we buy this house?" I guess I just need them here supporting me in this BIG decision. The problem is that they are both on a cruise somewhere in the Pacific Rim and are not even reachable by phone or email. The part that gave me the most anxiety was when the lender and realtor explained that everything could be done by October 5th! My parents don't even get back until the 7th! I just couldn't imagine picking them up from the airport and telling them, "Oh, good news, we bought a house while you were gone".
I am so thankful to have my Heavenly Father to turn to when I need guidance. It is comforting to know that even though I don't have my earthly parents guide me I can always turn to my Heavenly Father.

Maybe thats why all this is happening now so you learn to rely on him exclusively. I know what you mean though. I really at least like to have my parents blessing in doing something big. Something about that is reassuring. It looks nice. Did you find a contractor?
It's a darling looking little place and if you need someone else's oppinion, just give me a call. Love, Auntie
it does look nice. And I think you should buy a house on the sole justification that it would be funny to pick your parents up from the airport and say, "oh, we just need to swing by our place real quick before we take you back to palm springs". Then you guys would get out and walk into the house stuff and they would be all confused and stuff...awesome.
so true kelly...what a cute place though! i mean a white picket fence and all! good luck with your prayers and deciding, i'm sure you'll make the right decision.
