Buying a home is extremely stressful sometimes!! Esp. when you are pregnant and just want to snap your fingers into moving. I had the hardest time just trusting God would take care of things. It's hard to let go of something you want SO badly. I fell in love with this house. We decided to make an offer, Josh opted for a low, low number. The whole time I wanted to throw up as he said that number out loud. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! They are going to laugh at us. I finally went upstairs took a shower and prayed outloud. The only thing that I could think of after I prayed was the verse: " Wives, submit to your own husbands as to the Lord. " Ephesians 5:22. I just bit my bottom lip and prayed a prayer that I would do just that. I had a complete peace afterward. I even had a peace that even if we lost the house, God would still provide for us. I was even ready to walk away. After we offically made the offer, we thought it was over. Then we received a phone call that almost made my heart stop! They asked if that offer was still on the table!!!!!
Let me tell you, God is SO very good!!! There are times in your life when you just need to give it all to God, pray on it, and let whatever happens....happen. You will have a strange peace that only God can give.

The Front: I love the front and backyard to this house. It's amazing, I didnt get to capture it on camera. It has BIG shade trees and around 2 acres surrounding us. Beautiful. Thankfully the road leading to our house isn't busy at all. Peace and Quiet.

The Kitchen: The first part that I see is of course the dishwasher!!! Im SO sick of washing dishes by hand. This sold me pretty much, haha. I also love the large space, I like alot of wiggle room when cooking. Plus it is in a room with a fireplace which will be super cozy in the winter.

The Bathroom: It's adorable. Newly remodeled so nice features. I like the simple white.

First Bedroom: I love this room. It's kind of small, but I love the storage in this house. This is one of the most charming rooms.

Living Room: There are 2 living spaces in this house. The first near the kitchen & the second in the middle of the house. They are really open and I love them. The hardwood floors are beautiful! Much better than carpet!

Second Bedroom:
This is all furnished by the previous owners, I took these while looking at the house. This is going to be Grayson's room, I have alot to do to this room and I can't wait to start!! Thankfully this bedroom is very close to our bedroom so I can just walk quickly to his room.

Third Bedroom: This is going to be our bedroom, it has a fairly large walk in closet. Along with another smaller one. I wonder who will be getting the walk in closet?! haha.

The backyard: AMAZING. This is my favorite,favorite! It has a beautiful little garden off to the side, a fire pit, sunroom, horse shoes, and trees galore!!! I can't wait for this to be our hangout area!! Not to mention our house is so close to creeks to go canoeing and fishing in! Grayson is going to have a blast here!
So there you go, a few pics of our home. Can't you tell im excited, haha! I really couldn't have asked for a better home. After looking a good 3 years, it finally happened.
I'm going to start packing now...
:)
Everything is so lovely! You are a very lucky girl. Your comments about just trusting God were much needed too ;) Miss you.
