Prayers ARE Answered!
The last 24 hours have been... exciting, sad, enjoyable and overall- amazing!!
As of 2 days ago we were set to move into a HOUSE! Ben and I can't buy a house right now, but we have been looking into the possibility of renting. An amazing opportunity came up and a friend of mine just happened to have one to rent. It was in a perfect location (1.3 miles to my work), a great neighborhood, a walk from downtown Denver... just a dream.
Well, dreams are just that- dreams! This morning I got a call from my friend telling me that we were turned down for the house. HELLO! We are supposed to be moving in 2 weeks!!
Last month we were looking at apartments near where my sister lives. We had found one very similar to what we have now, but with a 2nd bedroom. Just what we wanted. We had already done the applications and put a hold on a place. Well, we found the house and bailed. When I got that call about not getting the house my first thought was, "What about The Marks?"
I called up the complex and had them look up our file. We were good to go! Just had to put down a hold amount (since we had taken it back before). So we did. I called up my friend, got my $100 back and used it to hold the apartment. When we got to the apartment, we ended up picking out the exact apartment that we were going to be in originally anyway!! On top of it, about $900 in fees were being waived!!
This isn't just luck. This was proof that our faith and prayers were noticed. Last night had been such a hard time emotionally for both of us. Our future wasn't certain, we were worried about where to get the money we needed to move- and then this! Our move-in costs are less than what we would owe for one month's rent!
I am getting down on my knees tonight and thanking my Heavenly Father for this. Nothing happens because of fate. It happens because we have taken the steps necessary to get us to the point that we are meant to be at.

We're moving up in the world.. finally!
We got the news that we will for sure be moving to a HOUSE soon!! Ben and I have been saying our prayers and doing what we can to get to this place. We were doomed to live in an apartment again, but I think we'll be making it good.
We move in next month and I can't wait to have more room!! We're in a small (780 sq. ft.) one bedroom apartment now. The new house is a two bedroom place. Only one bath, but since it's just the two of us right now, I think we'll be fine. The kitchen is huge and I can't wait to get in and make it mine.
We got the go ahead to paint and I'm already picking out colors (Valspar's Coconut Milk). Room to have friends over finally! No more desk in the bedroom!!
I'll keep you posted and get pictures up as soon as I can.
Wish us luck!
