We aren't going to be homeless!!

About three weeks ago, the property managment lady called and said that the owners son wanted to move into the house and they wouldn't be extending the least when it was up in February. She also said that if we would be out by January 9th, they would give us the full deposit back, without holding the cleaning fee. Knowing we were going to have to be out in February any ways, and that we could use the deposit instead of Decembers rent, we said okay.
So we began searching and searching and searching. If you want to see a shocker, look at the rent section on Craigslist and see how much people want for these run down, tiny homes. It is truly amazing!
We thought we had one about three weeks ago on the hill here in Springville. But there was someone who looked at it before us and they decided they wanted it.
So we started over, we found a cute one just down the street, a twin home, but pretty cheap. We were the first to see this one and were feeling pretty confident. We had an appointment to sign the lease at 7:30. We sat in the drive way for thirty minutes waiting for the guy to show up, when he didn't we went home and called him. He said another couple had looked at the place and they were commiting to a 4 year lease. And they could move in Saturday. We said we would commit to two years, move in on Friday and give him the deposit, december rent and January rent in cash. But he said he felt the other couple would be a better fit. This was last Saturday.
I was so discouraged by this point, I wanted to give up! A cardboard box was looking good at this point. Keep in mind we were trying to do all this in addition to all the holiday shopping and celebration.
So we started over. We were looking to live in Springville but were open to Provo and Orem too.
There was the niceest house posted on Craigslist in Orem, between work and the kids school. I had looked at it a couple of times, but it was a little more than we could pay. At this point I was desperate, so I emailed and made an offer. He meet with us, showed us the beautiful house and accepted the offer, if we passed a background test and our refrences checked out. No problems there! And yesterday we signed the lease! We move in on January 1st. It is a nice house, in a great neighborhood right in the middle of were we need to be. Heavenly Father knows what he is doing!
