The perfect house

I'm planning to get married you know (or maybe you don't)... much depends on the ability to find adequate - meaning big enough - yet, affordable - meaning cheap - housing. Not an easy undertaking in Southern California. But today I found the perfect house, in the perfect location, for the perfect price...but it's too soon, I still have a lease on my current abode... I don't have the money yet, either (you know the whole first and last thing) ...and so, I'm afraid my perfect house will be rented by someone else within a few days. And I'm bummed about that - when I first heard about the house from the Sunday School teacher where my boyfriend attends, I thought to myself "does God answer prayers that quickly?" (we had just asked for prayers about our future and the need for housing) The answer is 'yes.' It's just I didn't tell God - not yet, in a few more months. (tee-hee). But, oh this house was perfect for me! Curb appeal on the outside, beautiful double entry doors, a large living room, with recessed lighting on dimmers, a fireplace and high ceilings. Oh, to cuddle up on the couch, a fire burning, wine glass in hand, enjoying a relaxing evening with my honey. A girl can dream, right... The kitchen had tons of storage and a window looking out at the sidewalk - you can see who's come to call. And it opened up to a good sized dining room, plus a counter bar area, which openend up to the patio. The long wall might have worked well for my temporary scrapbooking area - since my perfect house only has three bedrooms. But eventually, when the kids start leaving home....the first bedroom would be perfect for my scrapbook room. Double doors led from the kitchen to this room, which had a window overlooking the patio. Down the hall was the laundry closet (a bit awkward in the narrow hallway, but it was doable.) Another bedroom, then the Master bedroom, with its own bathroom, and door to the patio. And 2, count them, 2 closets - not walk-ins, but plenty of space anyway. At the end of the hallway was the main bathroom, and the door to the garage - which, because this house was the model at one time, was finished in pine, indoor/outdoor carpet, and air-conditioned! Access to the attic, which is big enough to stand up in... well, except for the aforementioned problems - I was home! So, pray along with me, that God will bring another 'perfect' house our way, when the time is perfect, too...
