One year ago today we bought our "new" house. I guess it's not "new" anymore, but it's also not a "house" anymore. It's a home. We truly love it. Of course, there are things we would like to change about it, but at this moment in our lives, it's perfect for our family.
When we looked at our home during our search, I dismissed it ... pretty quickly. It was in good condition, but it needed some updates. We had just spent 9 years living in our first home and updating almost every part of it. I did NOT want to go through that again. Especially not with young kids. No. We moved on. We put in a bid on a different home and it fell through. We were disappointed. It just wasn't meant to be.
Thankfully, Greg kept our home in the back of his mind and a few weeks later we looked at it again. On the second trip, I finally saw what Greg saw. The space, layout, and location were perfect. The updates didn't look so overwhelming this time around. So, we looked into the neighborhood, compared our homes price, and realized something awesome. It was way under priced. We found it. A diamond in the rough. Two houses in a row. Praise the Lord! We bought the house that night.
Most of the updates were completed in the first couple of months after we moved in, but we still have a few projects on our to do list. They will get done. Eventually.
Matthew 10:13 - "If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it"
