Our House!

The offer was accepted and the house is now in escrow! We are super excited!!

So if all goes well from here on out, we should be able to move in in about 30 days and that will be that! Our address is 1944 Stagecoach, Tulare, CA 93274.

Here are the specs:
It has three bedrooms, two baths with approx. 1555 sqft. It has an open floor plan with a living room with fireplace, laminate wood flooring, two-tone paint, the kitchen has granite counters with stainless appliances, dining area, custom master bath with walk-in closet, inside laundry, covered patio, 2 car garage, central heat and air, and oh, did I mention that it is BRAND NEW. It has never been lived in and is on a cult-a-sac in a beautiful new, up and coming neighborhood.

We are also about a half a mile from Grandma and Grandpa Wildebaur. Plus we can finally get a dog! Woot!

So there you go gang, big news!

PS. I apologize for the poorly photoshopped image... I didn't have a ton of time!

The Offer

On Saturday we put an offer down for this house!!! Take a look at some of the pics! Only time will tell if we get it or not!!

The pics are kind of big because they are imported from Photobucket. Just click on them to see the actual thing cause all you can see here is half of them.

New House??

Is this the house???? Ignore the cloudy day in the picture, according to Courtney this is THE house... we shall see, only time with tell!!

Congratulations are in Order!!!

Congratulations to the new OB Nurse at Tulare District Hospital!

Today Courtney was offered a position at Tulare DH and she will be starting there the first of June!

Now on to buying a house!!!

Possibly a house???

Hey All,

If Courtney gets a job offer tomorrow and we are praying that she does (and she has a pretty good chance), the we are planning to buy a house. If she gets the job then we are pre-approved for a $300,000 loan. She is going to go on a tour of the house below and if she likes it then we are going to put an offer in on it. It is brand new, built in 2007 and never lived in, and started at $299,999 but has been reduced due to the poor housing market in Tulare all the way down to $230,000!!! It is 1860 sqft on a 7,000 sqft lot. So, we shall see about tomorrow!

Update on Life!!!

Hey Gang,

Long time no talk and there is so much to update you on. As many of you know Courtney and I have been praying about the future and what we are going to do in two months when we are free from Wyoming. We were not sure what to do because we were not sure what I was going to be doing as far as a job. I applied for two RD positions just to keep my options open and we figured that if doing the RD thing was what God wanted then He would make it happen.

I applied to Pepperdine University and did a phone interview but was not asked to come for an on campus interview. I also applied to Fresno Pacific University and flew out for an on campus interview but they offered the position to someone else. So it was very clear that God was closing those doors and He will open new ones. So that ends my career as a Resident Director as this is the first and last RD job that I will experience in my life. As of June 14th or sooner I will be moving on to a different career. As far as what that is going to be is yet to be determined but I have my eye set on a county job in Tulare that would take way too much time to describe so if you really want to know then call me. So now is the struggle to stay in the game here at NWC and not emotionally detach myself before I should. I need to finish the race and that remains my challenge.

Now as far as Courtney goes... she has two interviews in California next week on Friday and so is going to be flying out and staying until Sunday. The positions are at Tulare District Hospital and Kaweah Delta Hospital and they are looking VERY promising. So that should solve the problem of getting Courtney a job. Plus, Courtney and Maddie are going to be flying away for good on May 13th so look for them to be in Tulare at that point. 

That being said, we are also in the market for a house. We are planning to buy our first home as soon as possible and so we would appreciate prayer as far as that goes because it is already pretty stressful. So that is the big deal in our lives.

As far as Maddie goes... I'll let the pictures and the videos do most of the talking. Needless to say she is crawling pretty well and has no problem sitting up on her own and then going from sitting to the crawling position. She loves hanging out on the bed and getting into as much trouble as humanly possible. She still loves people and smiles and laughs all the time. She is eating a ton of solid food and supplementing that with nursing. Her poop is very solid at this point and very stinky and she grunts when she poops which makes mom and dad laugh. She also talks to us in her own way with small shrieks and by blowing raspberries. She is amazing... now here ya go!
