Do you see all the shade in that yard?? I am so excited about trees and shade, we both are.
We did not have that big moment of walking in, hearing the angels sing, and that voice saying buy me. The neighborhood was the one who did the talking. This was the first neighborhood we drove into that we could afford where we felt like we were home. It is full of trees, kids, and a great park. An extra bonus is that we have no neighbors behind us and we are about a 3 minute walk from the park.
Here is the other thing I am excited about: the kitchen. My kitchen has an island!!! I have a ton of counter and cabinet space. Anyone who has been to our current house knows we have a tiny kitchen. I promise I am not exaggerating when I say tiny. So my new kitchen seems like a palace. Let me take back what I said earlier, I did hear "buy me" when I walked into the kitchen.
Well anyways, there are two glimpses of our future home. Once we move in, I will post more.
I know I have asked already but I am asking again, please pray for my family during this time. Richard and I have been on an emotional roller coaster lately. This has all been very exhausting and overwhelming for us. We have so much to do that we are to the point of wanting to move in order to get our life back to normal.
However, we are excited about what God has planned for our future and we know that he will be there with us. Two scripture that I am meditating on for the moment are Proverbs 3:5 and Philippians 4:6-7. If you have any to add please write them in the comments because I would love to read them.

I love the house! You are definitely going to feel better once you are there and settled. Just remember right now to let yourself feel every emotion...they are there for a reason. We will all miss you so much here but that just gives us an excuse to get in the car and have a road trip!!

Aleesa,
We really like the house...congratulations! No one deserves a big beautiful kitchen more than you.
We wanted to let you know that we are thinking about the three of you during this time of change. We understand how stressful moving to a new house / area is, making your house feel like a home, finding where everything is...the grocery store, the post office, etc... (and for me - with no sense of direction - this is no easy task. Thankfully your brother has a great sense of direction.) As we are finally getting settled into our 4th house in the 3rd state in 5 years I have learned a few things along this path.
It will take about 6 months for your new house to feel like home. You know when you can get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and you don't have to turn any lights on, or when you walk into a dark room and you just know where the light switch is. When every sound doesn't feel strange, it just feels normal. When you walk through the front door after work or a trip and you think...(sigh) it feels good to be home. Just remember that it will take a little time and there will be days when you think to yourself..."what did we do?" Those days will pass.
One final thing...getting the house just right can be all time consuming...don't forget to stop in the middle of all of the chaos and love each other and have fun. We are so excited for your new adventure and so completely proud of both of you. We wish you the very best.
We love and miss you very much,
Earnie & Chrissy
