Exciting News

So AB and I put an offer on our very first home!

We are so excited & we are praying for God to iron out the rest of the details.

This is actually the 2nd house we have put an offer on. The day before Thanksgiving we put an offer on a beautiful 1915 house - but ended up withdrawing our contract after inspections.

We had our hearts set on that house but at the same time, prayed God would close that door if it wasn't for us. And He did exactly that! We had great peace about it and knew eventually something better would come along.

And that it did! This deal was actually better than we ever could have imagined and drum roll please...it has an in-ground pool!

Summers at our house will be a blast!

Can't wait to finalize all the paper work, move in and start painting!

God is so good!

Small Town USA

One of the best parts about moving for us was being able to be in a small town and community. The kind of place "where everybody knows your name..." and pretty much everywhere you go you see a familiar face.

We both grew up in small towns and greatly enjoyed it. We thought moving back to AB's hometown would be a great place for us and our future kids.

But it is also so nice to not be in the hustle & bustle of life. Seems like everyone lives a much slower pace of life.

And I love it!

I can honestly tell you I do not miss SA one bit. I definitely do not miss the traffic or people. I thought I might miss all the places to eat - because we have very few eating establishments here & on Sunday pretty much your only option is Dairy Queen but I don't. We eat at home much more often these days which I also love.

Right now it is harvest time so AB has been working a lot and it has been HOT! I have also passed more tractors on the roads than cars these days. I am hoping to go out to the fields one day & ride the combine with AB and get some pictures of this year's harvest.

So far small town USA has been wonderful to us! This evening I took some photos for Honey B. and snapped a few for here while standing in the front yard.

Here is our small town USA bliss...
