How to decide....
House hunting can be extremely stressful. But it is something everyone experiences a few times during their lifetime. We have been pretty fortunate with our experiences. It really came down to the crunch with our current home. I looked at literally over 20 homes. I even had a book with photos, comments, pros&cons, etc. Then the moment we walked in. I knew it was the one. It all seemed easy from that point. (not really :) This time around has been slightly challenging. We had an offer so quickly on our home that we really had not looked at any homes in Henerietta. Once we started looking the uhoh.......sat in. We actually decided that we may just have to rent for a while and build. Building offers the opportunity to design our home and have more space. Yet as we discussed the convenience of space...I really couldn't help but think space really isn't our family. We all end up together at night, and our days are spent together in the living room and kitchen. Do we really need more space than we already have? Although more rooms provide the benefit of easier organization and convenience. Is more room to spread out and fill with things really our family. We are not a very private family. Most of our time is spent together in the same room. Casey has often said that if we ever build we should build an enormous master bedroom, living room, kitchen, then one other room for the toys and miscellaneous acquired junk.
Then a home was brought to our attention. The house is not listed yet. They were discussing selling their home with a friend that happen to know we were looking for a house in Henerietta. It is a older home. But it just has such a "family" feeling to it. As we walked around we could imagine our family in the home. It's amazing how it all works. Don't get me wrong I certainly see some projects I would be ready to tackle. I personally love older homes. I enjoy changing things and working on projects. Casey on the other hand enjoys not having projects going on. :) So we are thinking, talking, and praying. I know if this new house is the right house for our family it will work out.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6

Congrats on selling your house! Henrietta is great and you all will fit right in. They will be lucky to have you there. So I guess your kids won't be at SLP anymore??? I am sad about that possibility, but happy for you! I voted for the pic, good luck!
