Raise your hand if you have ever spent months germinating the seed of an idea into a plan that seemed ideal because it embodied your heart's desire then God stepped in and said "ha." If your hand isn't in the air you haven't been paying attention. Yep, we planned and God laughed. We're really happy about it though because as it turns out the Creator of the Universe, Maker of Heaven and Earth, Almighty God knew what was best for us better than we did. Who woulda thunk it? 
As you all well know we had spent months developing the idea of our first home all the way to drawing up plans and finding a company for a log home. While that is still our ultimate dream God said not right now. He brought us to our new home, our first home, and we couldn't be happier! From top to bottom you see the front view of our new home, a side view with our deck and one of the entrances to our basement, and finally our HUGE back yard. We still live in the Metro area but we found a lot right at an acre! We have also traded in a neighborhood full of gunfire for a fire pit built by my wonderful Eagle Scout husband in our back yard.
We are getting to know our new side of town and all it has to offer. I can finally let Thomas and Lily play outside without worrying about who might be out there and what they might be doing. We love our community center and the parks in the area.
I guess you could say that as with all children we have come to realize that our Father was right all along!
We look forward to having everyone over someday. We need more furniture first! That's the downside of going from 1300 square feet to 1900 square feet (not including the basement which is only partially finished.)
