We signed the LEASE on our first place : )

Since we are getting married in March I figured it would be a good time to get out from under my parents wings and begin soaring through adult life.. This past week has shown me A LOT of what I was missing out on and showed me who I am becoming and a little bit of what GOD has in store for us.

We had been looking at places and we needed something close to SAGU so when J goes back there next semester he will be able to get there without having a car (since I will have the car driving to 1 of my 2 jobs, more on that below).. We had visited 4 apartment/townhomes complexs. All too high for our budget at the moment and too far away from SAGU... We drove over by the GU and turned the corner and saw this house that had been made into a duplex. I called the number and asked about the space for rent.. 2 bds 2 bths large kitchen... PERFECT.... We immediately drove to the lady's house and picked up an application. Jeromy and I filled it out and we began praying "Lord, if this is where we are supposed to be then we know that you will make it happen." Well we went and looked at the space on Wed. of last week. We gave her the application and she said that she would start calling our references. : ) By Saturday we were told that all we needed to do was to give her the deposit. Monday of this week we gave her the deposit, signed the lease, and got the keys : ) Needless to say we are both SUPER excited and thrilled to have a place we can call our own.

I recently began working another job. So now I have 2. I still work at the Roomstore and now I work for a Law firm with offices in Dallas and Fort Worth. I will be traveling to both every other week. I am super excited about the job and opportunity that it will give me.

We have trusted the Lord with all our this far and we will continue to do so. As well as adopt that saying.. As for me and my house we will serve the LORD : )

I will have to post pictures once we get everything set up and decorated :  )
