Closing Day

One step closer to building our dream home!

So where do we start? How about how this all came to be?

After looking at houses over the last 1 1/2 years and always trying to move walls and change everything about the houses... we finally realized that maybe we should build our own dream home! So we started looking around at lots in the area. We felt that God was especially calling us to a neighborhood in Santa Rosa Beach (for those who don't know it is a beach on Scenic Hwy 30A near Destin, FL). The neighborhood is perfect for us! Big lots, lots of trees, close to the beach and even a few hills... which are hard to come by around here!

So... we started doing some research on the lots available. And after finding the one we thought was perfect... we found that it was wayyyyy out of our price range. But, we made an offer anyways... Not even expecting a call back. And, well, here we are... closing day.

God has truly blessed us with this opportunity to build a home. He always has bigger plans than we ever could've imagined. I'm not sure why we ever doubt Him. He is an awesome God. We pray that we may use our home to glorify our Savior and to further his Kingdom.
"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
