We think we found our house. It’s in Frisco, and a little bigger and more expensive than we were expecting to get, but we both love it. It’s right down the street from an elementary school and a park. Although the yard’s not huge, it backs up to an open field with trees that will be great for playing football. It’s also perfect for hosting a home bible study like we’ve been doing the last couple of years. We’re reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally excited.

If you want to see the listing, email us and we’ll send you the link. Our offer will go in the next couple of hours. All prayers welcome.

Update: They accepted our offer, with no counter! Inspections on Friday.

We’re only one day into our house hunting trip, but it’s going great so far. A four hour plane flight is no small feat with two kids under age two. But we had a great flight yesterday. Abbey slept the whole way, while Grady and I read books and watched Baby Einstein DVDs.

It’s God’s provision in even these small areas that’s starting to reveal my incredible lack of faith. (more…)

We’re heading to Texas tomorrow to begin an eight-day house hunting excursion. We thought we were just going to get to see my brother and sister-in-law, who we’ll be staying with. However, thanks to our friend Hurricane Rita, all of our family will be evacuating Houston and coming to up join us. FUN! By my count, we’ll have 14 people in one house, including 4 people under 3 years old.

It will be a mini-family reunion, I guess. I think it will be fun. Now, if we can only find the right house…

Next month, we’re moving home to Texas. Those of you who have known us for while shouldn’t be too shocked by our news. We have been longing to do this for a long time. Finally, everything has come together to make it a reality. (more…)
