But as I mentioned in a prior post, we saw this house the first weekend we were here and it had just been moved out of after 15 yrs. It was on the short list, and by the time we realized it was a diamond in the rough, there were four families wanting it.
We asked to see it again, even though we knew there was a waiting list for it. This is when we met Karin, the land lady. By the time we left, Eric had her laughing so hard she could barely contain herself. She was telling us that she was to old to deal with the constant showings of the house, so she put her oldest son in charge. However, he had hurt his leg running and was in bed, so his younger brother was now in charge. Eric cracked a joke that maybe that was the older brothers plan all along, and she broke into a hysterical laugh, and we chatted for a good hour. She is a German school teacher and she liked finding out about our culture as much as we liked finding out about the German culture.
Needless to say, she called and asked us if we would like to rent the house two days later.....
So Kudos to my love....One of Eric's best qualities has always been his ability to draw people into conversation, and he is great at it. Not to mention he has a genuine heart!
And most of all, we are ever thankful to God, because even though we were plucked from our reality in Newnan, we choose to trust in him that all would be ok with this move, house hunting and the kids starting school, and we are blessed because he has made everything ok.
Here she is.....our German house, which we will be moving into in about a week and a half. They are still painting and cleaning inside, but more pics to follow!
