welcome home!

So, Mitch and I have been searching for apartments.
We researched many (at least 30), went and saw a few that we really really liked, and ended our apartment searching day discouraged with no leads. Neither of us felt at peace with any of the ones we'd seen that day, or seen online previously.
We had both been looking around on Craigslist, the classifieds at CLC, and also calling friends who had basement apartments, or knew of people with one.
In the end though, we still did not feel at peace with any of the options we had. Although we would have loved living in some of the places, it just felt that God wasn't calling us there.
So we prayed and we waited and we were just hoping that the right place would just come at the right time.
And then Mitch found one in Germantown on Craigslist, and we set up an appointment to go look at it. When we saw the floorplan and the details of the apartment we both instantly felt that this could be "the one." We arrived at our appointment, and they showed us an apartment. We both loved it and could see that all of our major (and minor) preferences were all lined up. So we asked them to put it on courtesy hold, so we could go home, pray, and make a decision.
Mitch and I both felt God calling us to this particular apartment, and we both feel completely at peace with our decision to get it. So yes, we have found our first home!!

Our move-in date is Sunday, September 20th.

We are both so excited, and trusting that God will continue to provide the finances, the logistics, and even a job for me. If you could, please be praying for these things. We are in faith the if God has called us somewhere, He will make a way for it.
