A little while back I blogged about the excitement and then frustration of finding that "perfect" home and then not being able to close the deal on it. It turns out that this particular house wasn't meant to be for us and we got over it fairly quickly.
As of this past weekend there is absolutely no bad taste left in our mouth from that initial failed offer because we were able to move into our new home in Lewisville, NC. The house is perfect for our family and, while we have yet to completely unpack, it already feels like home. Kellie and I sat on the couch last night drinking coffee after the kids went to bed and we looked around in amazement at what God has given to us. We are certainly humbled to be homeowners for the first time (and a little bit nervous) but grateful to have such a great place to raise our kids.
The most important task for us is to make this house a home. The Lord will be honored in this house and we desire to use it as a tool for His glory. We have already met the neighbors and they have freely dropped by. Cookouts and get togethers are in the near future and we want people to come and stay awhile. If you are reading this, then come on over whenever you get a chance!
