Blessed

As of today our wedding is 5 weeks away...since we started wedding plans everything has just kind of fallen into place and everything is basically done. Except one Minor detail....we didn't have a place to live. Yup, we were going to be newly married and homeless. Ok maybe that's being slightly dramatic but still! It was stressful not knowing where we were going to land after the wedding. Until last night.
My family was all over for my brother's bday party and of course the topic of houses came up because we are kind of running out to time to find somewhere. And then my grandma said we should just live in her house and kick the guys who are living there out. There was NO way we could afford this. She charged them like $1300 a month or something like that and we are just a poor (almost) married couple. We told her this and she agreed to cut the price in half if we would agree to take care of the yard which had been terribly neglected by the renter boys. We gladly accepted!!!
So we are officially not homeless. Instead we have a 3 level, 6 bedroom, 3 bath home with a tennis court and firepit. She is going to give the guys a 30 day notice to get out of the house and then we will move in our stuff ASAP!!
I can't wait to call this place home...
even though it will always be "Granny's" in my memories


We are sooooo very blessed. It is amazing the blessings that come from living righteously and following the commandments even if it might be easier not to sometimes. We couldn't be happier and are just waiting for it to finally be Oct. 11!!!

1 month. 4 days. 23 hours. 41 minutes.
