The extent of the update is that, we made an offer and they accepted! We wrote up our contract Sunday afternoon and made the offer at that time, and by that evening they had come back and said they would like to sell it to us under our terms! Then I started thinking, man we should have asked for more! :) So the house is pretty much ours...except that they live in it. Very minor detail. We are supposed to get their written contract sometime this evening, so far we just have a verbal agreement. We offered them their asking price, have them pay the closing costs and leave the refrigerator, and they are all for it! So we are really excited. Once we get their contract we will meet with our lender and lock in an interest rate and get our loan going. We are probably going to close sometime in March. The closing date also ended up working out really well, because I was worried the sellers would want to close right away, and we would still be stuck in our lease until April 30....but they actually have not even started looking for a house, and love the idea of not closing until mid March! So that was a real blessing also.
Not going to lie...it has stressed me out the past couple of days...the idea that we pretty much just bought a house...are having a baby...and in 4 days I am leaving the country for 2 weeks. That seemed like a lot to take in all at once, but I think I am ok with it now :)
We can't wait to get into the house, and start making it our own...decorating the baby's nursery, specifically. Once we move in, we will only have a couple of months to do that! Can't wait to have everyone come and see it!! I wish that it was already vacant so people could start seeing it now, but we will have to wait a couple months. Another great highlight of this house is that it happens to be four houses down from my good friend Jessica's house. She works with me at Wesley, and we are going to the DR together. It is nice to have a neighbor that we already know!
All thats left is the inspection, and as long as that goes off pretty well we should probably start slowly getting stuff packed!

Hi Kelly My name is Jesse and our church in NC is beginning a church planting strategy in the city of Bayaguana. We have only been through the town once as we looked at various areas for consideration. I was wondering if you had any helpful insight into hotels to stay in or not to stay in, etc?
Congratulations! Let us know when you're moving and we'll be there to help if we can...take care of yourself and your little baby on your trip. We'll be praying for you. Love, JT
