Perspective

We thought it would be fun to give everyone a little perspective -- a glimpse of our current home so you can grasp how BIG of a life change this is for us!

A little over five years ago, we built a beautiful house out in a country subdivision...we basically built our dream house. At the time, we felt like we would grow old in this house, so we put a lot of work into making it perfect in our eyes.

The house is around 3,000 square feet...it has a beautiful open concept that is great for entertaining. It has a scrapbook room, along with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. There is a theater room complete with wall-sized screen and 6 theater recliner seats. There is a wine room.  There is garage space for four cars. There is a beautiful pool with a waterfall and well-established landscaping. And, there is a separate building that Chris built with our friend, Neeley -- a shop/pool house on the bottom, with an upstairs room and deck. The house sits at the back of the subdivision, on an acre and a half. It backs up to trees, and there is a 7' fence for privacy. It is truly an oasis.

It's funny, though, how priorities change -- isn't it?

Different stages of life bring different goals and feelings and beliefs. When you and your spouse can be on the same page with those things, it is truly a beautiful thing! Chris and I are very blessed in so many ways...but more than anything, we are so blessed to be married to one another. Big life change is always very stressful and overwhelming...we are certainly not exempt from those things! But going through it together makes it so much better...we have different strengths and together we will get through it all! One day soon, this transition phase will come to an end and our life will settle down into a normal rhythm again. We are ready for that and all that the future holds for us!
