So you know how we said last May how we started the process on our new home and how excited we were… Well come to find out, the Lord had other plans and boy were the pretty awesome. I’m not going to lie, the building process was fun, exciting and we couldn’t have been more thrilled, but things didn’t go the way we planned. I was grumpy one day because things weren’t moving how I wanted them and started looking at already built listings. I was getting my hair colored by my girl Josie at Salon Fringe and she sent the listing (while I was processing of course), drove by right afterwards and gushed.
The moment I saw the listing, I instantly fell in love. I felt like a complete stalker as when you drive down the lane the house is the only one on it and I wasn’t aware. That didn’t stop me though haha, I started taking pictures and video to show Jason, who was in Hawaii on tdy at the time, and right then I wanted to schedule a tour. It was everything we could imagine and more, y’all it’s so beautiful! The Oak trees alone had me smitten. I didn’t care what the house looked like inside I knew this was our forever home and we neeeeeded it.
There is a barn, cabin, stables, a gazebo even a POND! 10 acers of pure bliss. I started seeing us there- Thanksgiving family football games, fishing in the backyard, playing outside, gardening, hayrides for Halloween Parties, plenty of space for Mags to run, birthday parties you name it. When Jason saw it, he too fell in love at first sight. We prayed long and hard, and the lord saw fit. On January 14, 2021 we closed on our forever home, my sister’s 26th birthday! We shared cake with her at the house that day- The house too is just as amazing, there’s a huge fire place in the living room – when I saw it, “Prom Pics” were the first thing to come to mind. Then upstairs, there’s space between the walls like secret hideaways – That’s something to see in person too unique to explain. But y’all can imagine it was a huge hit with the kids. One of my favorite things are the huge windows – especially the window over the kitchen sink looking into the back yard, where I envision the kiddos getting dirty and playing while I cook dinner and maybe a wedding or two as the children grow?
I cannot wait to completely make this house our home. I will post more as updates happen.
