This Door...A Year Later

It was one year ago to day that we walked in that door for the first time. Jason had great hopes...I had absolutely no expectations. I had already seen that it was for sale a few days before but was on a busy street so didn't give it a second though. I agreed to go look at it, just to appease Jason expecting to check it off the list and continue our search after the holidays.

But God had other, much better plans!  We walked through that door and the second we walked through we knew it was "the one." Literally...we walked in and were both in love. The main floor was cozy but we loved it! Onto the upstairs and one room after another we were "oooohing and ahhhhhhing!!" Then we went to the basement. It was perfect, and then some...finished with a bathroom and room for storage.  Onto the outside...it had a pretty sizable yard (for Colorado!) Plenty of room for Cooper and our future Lucas to play in. We were in LOVE.

One room to the next, Jason and I would say, "oh my gosh, I love this!" and "Oh, Jason , this is the house." "Ahh look at this (insert the name of the room)." It was such a glorious night. But when we were looking the market was crazy and houses would be gone in a day so we tried not to get too attached.

During the home search we had decided that we would sleep and pray on whatever house we liked ot make sure we felt like God was leading us.  In the moring, we put our offer in and after a few days we had more than we could have asked for in the contract and a house we were moving into at the end of February!

Things changed quickly and before we knew it, we had a baby boy almost 3 weeks early while also moving up the closing day by a whole month to the end of January so moved in just 6 weeks after looking at it. Amazing how God worked through all of this and blessed us with our home! It was all such a whirlwind with how it all went down since we had a baby in the middle of it all but reflecting a year later is awesome. So very thankful for our house!
