Since Nick and I were married five and a half years ago, we have called five places home:
1. Our first apartment
2. Nick's parents house
3. A house in Wrightwood
4. The tiny house off of Daycreek
5. Our current home in Rancho
Our sixth anniversary in coming up in November, so we figure it's time to move again.
But we are hoping this time will be different. That's right. We are hoping this time we will be moving into our very own home! No more rent! No more landlords! No more living with the ancient blue carpet that our many, small, potty-training children insist on watering!
So, we signed an offer on a house today. In Pinon Hills. It's about 35 minutes from Rancho. Up the 15 , and then off of the 138. The house is off of a dirt road! I never thought I would move there! In fact, I think I swore I wouldn't. Ya know, if I swore. Which I don't. But for a hundred thousand less than what we were thinking of spending in Rancho, we will be getting so much more, and I think we are making the best decision for our family. If we get this house, I think we are going to love it, and Nick and I both really feel like this is where God is leading us. Plus, how could a big house on 2 acres, and a 6 car garage for Nick not have us excited!?
So, please pray for our family, for this big decision, and for God to have his hand in it every step of the way.
On a side note: my heart loves our current home. I feel like it is mine, even though it isn't. It's not for sale, but even if it was, it isn't big enough for our growing family. We moved here when Noah was one. We brought the twins home from the hospital to this house. Caleb was born here for crying out loud! Our family has grown so much here, literally. If, and when we move from this house, I will mourn it a little bit. So also, could you please pray for my silly, sentimental soul?
