New House

I have not really talked about this much on here, mostly because I do not really know how to address it.

So here it goes.....we are building a home.

Things are going great here with Mimi and we do truly love taking care of her, and sharing life with her.  The girls adore her (and her t.v. ha!).

However, some things have changed and Seth's parents have decided to sell the house and Mimi has bought her own house (closing next month).

 We are super grateful for Tom and Denise to let us live at their house rent free, so we can save up money!

With all things considered, we felt like the best step for our family was to buy a home:)

And since my sweet parents are contractors, we were able to build/buy at a great great cost. 

We will forever be grateful for that!

You would think that we like to move, but trust me we do not! 

This will be our 3rd home that we have lived in in Olive's 1 year of living.

However, we do like being obedient and being in the Lord's will and doing the right thing

so here we are!! :)

Here are a few pics of the house:

big back yard

(biggie for me, because if you haven't noticed the kids and I live in the back yard!)

master bedroom

 

It's a 4 bedroom home in Hahira (the place we LOVE)

aaaand it's neato because the name of the house plan we chose is 

actually called "Honey Bee" (Hahira is home of the honey bees)

going to check on the progress!

living room

dining room ceilings, so pretty

guest bathroom

girl's bedroom (Stevie and Neela will most likely still share a room) they love it so much!

Master bedroom.

Olive (for a while) will probably sleep in our HUGE master closet (we will make it a little nursery for her).

Until she is a bit older all she will really do in there is sleep.  Titus is 2 years old and he still only sleeps in his room.  He rarely ever (if at all) plays in his room.

So it makes no sense to waste a whole room on just a "sleeping room" for her. Plus, she is asleep a lot! So I would like for her to be away from the noise of a house with 3 wild kiddos running around, she will get a much quieter place to sleep in her little nursery/closet :)

We have decided to make the extra bedroom our "home school/playroom" for now.  We will re-evaluate the situation when the time comes for her to move into a legit room.  She may share with Titus or the girls, or have her own room, who knows?  I mean we may live in Africa by then ;)  

We are very much "lean-on-the-Lord-and-Trust-in-Him" kind of family!  

We live for what is best for our family right here and right now.

We do not know for sure what will be taking place years from now, but we do work for the Man who does :)

We do our best to use wisdom and understanding and guide our family down His path.

We are very blessed to be able to purchase a new home! Our God is so awesome and wonderful to us!!

Our heart is in Hahira and we are stoked to be moving back to our family's favorite city!!

Golf carting and bike riding have been missed :)

We love that little community.

Also, please continue to pray for Seth's new job situation.  They are making lots of cuts/layoffs at his current job and he is getting a little antsy.
