A Whirl Wind

Well things have been more than interesting around the Booram's house hold these days. We have great news... we have sold our house! Praise the Lord. We are in the midst of the inspection repairs. Even though we endured around 37 showings in 4 weeks, we feel MORE than blessed to have had an accepted offer so quickly. I will say, while we were very excited I think the reality set in a little bit more. Since we have a closing date of May 15th, and they take position on the 17th, our next question was... "WHERE WILL WE LIVE?". We had yet to go down to Bloomington to do any type of house shopping, our finances were still in the pre-approval processes and we or should I say "I" was freaking out. Well sure enough God is always in control yes? So we began house shopping, kept working on our finances and like I said God always provides and He did. We had put an offer on a house we LOVE in Bloomington on Thursday and we accepted the owners counter Friday afternoon. While there are more of those LARGE details that we got to see how God worked, I won't bore you with every little piece. We did take the boys down with us on thursday to look at the house one more time and it was kind of insane, both crying all the there and all the way home, but it was really good to see them in our new house. Not to mention Eli cried all the way home saying..."I don't want to go home Mommy, I was to go to BOOmington." As for everything else, we will have the blessing of residing with Anna and Rob (my sister and brother-in-law) and their two kiddos for 3 weeks admits all our traveling and what not. They are AMAZING to have offered to let us move in their new beautiful home!
Both boys are doing great! Riley is 9 1/2 months now and crawling, pulling up, and generally into EVERYTHING. Eli is heading his way towards 3 (not till September) and pretty much the total definition of a boy. He loves bugs, cars, jumping, being out side, getting dirty and oh did I say cars? They are both nutty and amazing.
Just wanted to keep everyone up to date on our crazy (but exciting) journey. I'll try to post more regularly. As for now, I'm off to go pack for our 2 weeks up in Michigan... and oh ya... I guess I should pack up our house to move while I'm at it!
