God’s sense of humour
So as you’ll know, there was the first property – Bellamy – that we applied for 3 weeks ago. And we just kept hearing nothing back about it. In the end we decided to move on and begin looking at other places last weekend. And that’s when we found this other property (don’t have a name for it) in Normanhurst, on Pennant Hills Rd. We applied for this also.
Just giving you the background so everyone is up to speed.
So this morning at about 9:30am, I get a call from the real estate agent who was looking after Bellamy. And as if it was scripted, she offered me the house. Thankfully, she saw the funny side of the situation too, and we shared a bit of a laugh. I said that I was hopefully waiting on another call, and so I’d get back to her within 24 hours, which she was ok about. I rang Debbie who thought I was joking. It actually took quite a bit of effort from me to convince her that I was serious! But we shared some more laughing together too.
But then, just two hours later, the wonderful Matthew at LJ Hooker gave me a call with the best news – that we’d been offered the place in Normanhurst that we wanted more. And all I could do after getting off the phone to him was to just laugh at God’s sense of humour in giving us both properties in less than two hours after waiting 3 weeks.
He was definitely teaching us patience – no doubt about that – but I wonder if He was enjoying being a little big cheeky as he set up both offers too… :)
But it is so very awesome to know that we now have a lovely house to live in. It’s so relaxing. The lease begins and we move in next Thursday (13th)… so I will take photos and give you all a virtual tour then.
edit: and yes, as Jenny said, it was a bargin. A good $50 pw less than most other places around Pennant Hills, Thornleigh… and way way cheaper than anything else in Normanhurst. Super!
