At around 7:30pm on April 1, 2016, we got the keys to the house.
No this isn't an April Fools Day Joke, but the day sure felt like it.
I will tell you what happened.
After a 60 day escrow and a long and back and forth negotiations, we were told that we were going to close on April 1, 2016 and not on March 31st.
Boy I was bummed I didn't want the first day to be April Fool's Day that just didn't sound right to me. Originally I had ask not to close on that day when we first started escrow, but as it happened, that's what happened.
So when April first came around, I got a call in the afternoon that escrow might not close. Then I was bummed the other way, because I just wanted this over with. After all it was Friday and there were some mistakes in the paper work at that point we just didn't know what was going to happen.
You could image how I began to think all about April Fools Jokes that could be played on me that day. (Almost like bad Karma But I don't believe in Karma, I believe in God and we just trusted in God to pull us through either that day or the day He wanted for us.)
Stress was not an option for me, I was called to rest and allow God to work His perfect work out.
Anyway, if it didn't happen it would close sooner or later.
So while the others were hard at work resolving the issues, the kids and I decided to do the next best thing.

We grabbed my sister and headed to our favorite beach and enjoyed a nice afternoon with sun soaked bodies, sand between our toes, and taking deep breaths of salt water air.
God is so good to provide the necessary R & R.
Well as it happened, we decided to head home around 4:00pm.
On our way, I received a text from our loan officer saying:
4:27
