Justin and I bought our house 8 years ago. If you were to ask Justin,
he would say that this is one of the biggest financial mistakes we have made.
We bought at the peak at the market and did lots of upgrades. As I look back at
our last 8 years, I know we made the right decision in purchasing our home. Our
neighbor encouraged me to apply for a teaching job in Azle. I never would have
thought to apply. After being hired, I met an amazing woman that invited us to
church. We fell in love with the church and have met so many amazing friends.
We would not have had all that we have today without this move to our house. In my mind over the last few weeks, I have been replaying all that we have gone through in our house. I wrote a few of them down!
In this house....
In this house, I received the phone call that led to my infertility
journey.
In this house, I got ready for my college graduation.
In this house, I asked Justin for a divorce.
In this house, we fought for our marriage.
In the house, we began our adoption journey.
In this house, I dealt with rejection from birth moms.
In this house, we received the phone call that Hannah’s birth mom
wanted us. J
In this house, we brought Hannah home.
In this house, Hannah said her first word, took her first step, and celebrated her first birthday.
In this house, I learned how to be a mom.
In this house, I received the phone call that our baby and birth mom passed away.
In this house, God reminded me of how blessed I am and that He is still in control.
We have been through a lot in this house. I am a different person than I was when we moved in 8 years ago. I would not change our journey for anything. I am who I am today because of it all.
Justin and I have been wanting to move and have some land. We are living our dream. We now have a 4 bedroom home and have plenty of room for baby #2. I cannot wait to see what happens in this house.
