House Hunting

As some of you may already know, we've been house hunting for about 3 weeks. I can't even begin to tell you the number houses I have poured over online. The process has truly been exhausting, and I know we have just started.


However, I am really excited because we actually put in an offer for a house yesterday!!! It's a 3 bedroom ranch in Fairmont, WV with a full, unfinished basement and TONS of potential!




I am trying hard not to get my hopes up, because I know that the process can fall through at the very beginning, but Patrick and I love this house so much we have been praying hard that this is our new home! We love everything about this home. And I hope within the next 48 hours we hear if the sellers accept our offer. We did put in a low offer, but hopefully it will be acceptable.

For now I am off to start looking at more places that we hopefully won't have to go see! If you would, please say a prayer for this process and that God's will be done. I pray that His will includes us living in this new home.

**UPDATE**
Unfortunately we did not get the house we were wanting above. It was a multi-offer situation and our highest bid was beat by the other couple :( I was really upset about it, but really feel God asking me to step out in FAITH and trust Him. So that is what I am doing. And we are back on the hunt this afternoon!

Lucky Thirteen

Thirteen years ago Patrick asked me to be his girlfriend while we were in my dorm room at Dadisman Hall at West Virginia University. It's hard to believe we've been a couple for so many years already. Here's to another year and our 8th wedding anniversary in 2011!

Status Quo

There hasn't been much to report around the Tenney household lately. It seems like we have been holding steady, in the work and school routine. We've weathered the snow and moved into the rain, looking forward to nicer days ahead with the promise of Spring.

Patrick is gearing up for the beginning of "workshop season" which starts tomorrow with a Suicide Intervention/Prevention workshop in Morgantown. He is also in charge of organizing a bullying awareness conference that has over 500 attendees! He's been very busy at work. He is leaving next week for a well deserved golf trip to South Carolina with his best friend/cousin Matt.

Morgan is doing well. She spent some time with the in-laws and had a great time at their house. She's been a little under the weather this week, resulting in a few days at home with Mama and Daddy. I smiled yesterday when she said she through her tears that she didn't want her Daddy to stay with her, she wanted her Mama. It was sweet.

I haven't been doing much other than a little housework here and there. I started a new cross stitch project that I am working on. I also had a great day shopping with my Aunt the other day. We try to do that once a month and I always come with bags of stuff!

We are finishing off the basketball season this week with two home games. Then we'll reclaim our weekends until September :) We have a few trips planned in the coming month, lots of birthdays to celebrate, and hope to get out house hunting soon.

So we're not doing anything too special. Sorry it's been a while since my last post, but we've pretty much been status quo.
