Moving Back Home to Hueytown

What an adventure it has been!

Not really looking for buy, God lead me on a Saturday drive when I closed the store. It had been a long day! :) Nothing seemed to make Taylor happy. I decided to just drive and let her sleep while I just enjoyed the sunshine. 

It wasn't working--- She was screaming (if you know me, I can't do anything when she does her loud pitch screaming). So, I just pulled over and started crying. Asking God, please give me patience and guidance. I knew I needed some quiet mommy time. Meanwhile, I just sat parked in on the road. 

I glanced over and saw a cute house with a wooden fenced yard, detached garage to my right. I thought to myself "That is so us, I love that, if only it were for sale". Meanwhile, Taylor fell asleep and I decide to continue with my drive, when I started the car and inched up I took one last glance at the 'perfect home'. ***Then it was like magic, don't know how to describe it*** A FOR SALE sign was in the front yard. Seriously, I thought to myself.... there is no way. I would have seen it before when I drove up and parked.

I don't know why, but I called the Realtor. I knew we weren't really looking to buy, just curious. She was SO RUDE. She didn't want to even talk about that house. She said it is an older home, you wouldn't like it. I have many more newer homes you would like. "I thought seriously, are you doing this"? So, I told her bye and drove around the block. I got back out, walked around the house and out comes a older gentleman. 

He was so polite. He even showed me the inside. I fell in love. It was perfect. I LOVED the huge backyard fenced with a sweet wooden fence. It had a separate garage and detached workshop. My favorite is the sun room! The living room is downstairs (Sean likes to think it's his man cave). The from room what was the den (will be Taylors play room). It is perfect. (It will need fresh newer colors inside the house). 

God had his plan and everything worked out so beautifully. Even the details about finding our Realtor, and such. It's just so amazing what God does. I don't understand, but I do feel blessed.  

After months- literally, they had to finish building there house and lots of prayer... We decided that with Gods guidance that we would buy this home for our lil family! 

I am SOOO excited. I just can't stand it. We closed this morning. I actually bought a house and groceries before 8:45 am. Is that nuts? Yes, I know! 

Pictures are to come. Now I get to do Taylor's Big Girl Room. We are delaying her birthday party so that we can have a BIG party at our new house for all her friends, and ours! 

God is so good! 


We are so excited. It is SOOO different from our last two houses. It is comfortable, homey and just us. The 'flashy, big fancy house and neighborhood was not for us anymore!'. I can't wait to make it ours! Taylor is going to love getting to have play dates and mommy can't wait too! Blessed!
