I have been a terrible blogger lately. We have been so busy with work, church and...with what you see below.....Our New Home!! Well, I guess I can't say it is officially ours yet, but it sure does feel like it. We have officially signed all the papers and contracts, and a closing date has been set. Josh and I are so excited!
We bought our first house right when we were married and lived there for about 2 1/2 years. We knew we wanted something bigger and after much prayer, decided we wanted to build our next home. So, we sold our first house, very quickly might I add, and my mother opened her home to us. That has been such a blessing, and we are so thankful for her. We have lived with her now for about 2 1/2 years (wow, time flies.) In the meantime, we purchased 3 acres of land, that we absolutely fell in love with, and knew that is where our house had to go!
The land is beautiful, and has a beautiful view of the mountains!
Over the last six months, we have been talking to builders and banks trying to get "our" big plans in action. But, God had other plans for us. After much prayer, we knew that God was leading us in a different direction. So, we prayed and searched for that perfect house. And we found it!!! We looked at many houses, some old, some new, but kept coming back to this one. We prayed that if it was God's will for us to be in this house, that everything would go smoothly, and it has. We also prayed that if we were looking at a home that wasn't right for us, that we would know immediately and that He would close that door, and He did (a few times.) I know it's not ours yet, and things can still fall through, but we truly feel that God has led us here, to Our New Home!! We feel so blessed to have this awesome opportunity and just praying for God to begin laying His firm foundation on our new home! We are looking forward to opening this new chapter in our lives!! (And we are still keeping the land, in hopes one day he will lead us in that direction. There will be more pictures to come :)
