Housing and Job Markets

I mentioned a few posts ago (I believe) about our visit from our landlord last week. He and his wife are expecting their first baby and want to move back into their house in July sometime. Well, we decided we are sick and tired of throwing our money away on rent so we spoke to a mortgage broker and real estate agent about entering the housing market. We have figured out some solutions and are taking a look at a house tomorrow! It's definitely an exact fit according to the description. It has a 3 bedroom suite upstairs and 3 bedroom suite downstairs so we can rent out one of the floors and use that as a mortgage helper. And each floor is 1000 sq ft - bigger than anything we've ever lived in before! It's such a nice area too. The downside is it already has an offer but it looks like the offer is falling through which is why we're still going to look at it.

I also finally received a phone call today from the Chilliwack Courthouse and am going in for testing on Wednesday morning for a court clerk position. It's not the exact job I want but it's a job and a foot in the door. Hopefully I do well on the testing and they offer me the job before April 27 when my benefits are cut off!

And to top off the day, Dad told us they oversold the inside cabins on the cruise we're going on in a couple weeks so we've been upgraded to a cabin with a balcony. Woo hoo! It will be nice to open our eyes and know if it's still the middle of the night or morning already.

So, it sounds as if the prayers are working. I've been praying so hard lately for things to start working out and have been losing weight just from being stressed about it all. Thank the Lord things are finally looking as if they're coming together!
