Our new home journey! After years of Tim desiring to live on a property with a bit more space, we finally made the decision to put an offer on what seems like the perfect lot space for our family. 1.1 acres of GREEN in the middle of the desert, with tons of space for our four (and Tim and I!) to roam, create, climb, build, grow, make lifetime memories, etc! While we are hoping to upgrade our outdoor space, our indoor living space will be quite a bit cozier and not as many conveniences as we are accustomed to. But in our family's minds, the reward outweighs the sacrifice. We are more than ready to set out on this adventure of caring for a property and quite honestly, simplifying our life a bit. This is where our days/nights/weekends will be spent and we are so excited!
The buying process of this home has been rocky, to say the least. Much patience and understanding have been required. But as we have learned with our other blessings in life - the most beautiful/rewarding worth it ones, are usually the most difficult journeys to get to/maintain. It is our prayer that there would be YEARS of great blessing filled in this home and acre.
The first time taking the WHOLE FAM to the Best Practices Conference! Best parts for them?? The bouncy castle, slides, many snacks and Dolewhip. Bonus - they got to meet one of Daddy's Vicarage Pastors and friend - Tom!
Mommy and Daddy dates with the 11 year old! Micah got to try his very first eggs benadict... love at first bite. What a sweet, sweet gift Micah is to all who know him. He is gentle, kind, creative, adventurous with trying new things, an outside of the box thinker, servant-hearted, incredible problem-solver, bookworm, and all around cool kid to be around. You are a joy, Micah and we could not be happier to get to love on you!
