Big Deals

This has been an amazing week. We have received an answer to many of our prayers and efforts. Just for a quick summary because we are heading out to celebrate some of these things:
  • We traveled to Fort Collins and found a house in two days and put it under contract. We will be loading up on Dec 11th or 12th and close on that house on Dec 16th.
  • I completed my dissertation and defended it this morning. A few more administrative details, and I will be a Doctor.
  • We learned today that a couple is very interested in our home and should make an offer this week. They had to sell their house before buying ours, and theirs just got put under contract.
  • We have been in contact with a birth mother. While we haven't been "officially" selected, she doesn't seem to be considering other couples. We've emailed back and forth a couple of times and will meet her next week. BTW, it's a boy!
Most of our prayers these days are requesting help to close all of these deals, but our priority is on the last one, since it has eternal consequences.
