Boy have we been busy! Life has been a series of roller coaster rides since Christmas. Back in November we decided to put our house on the market. The market was starting to heat up in the area, and we both felt like it was the right move. We knew if it was meant to sell, then the Lord would make it abundantly clear. After just two weeks on the market, our house was under contract with the very first couple that looked at it. I was SO thankful, as trying to keep a house picture perfect and clean at all times was about to do this mommy in. We were scheduled to close and move out a week before Christmas, but we were given an extra month due to financing hold ups on the buyers side. This was another HUGE answer to prayer. We were able to enjoy the Holidays, and then tackle the move afterwards. We closed on January 15, and said goodbye to the first house we ever owned. The house where we spent the first five years of our marriage, and brought both of our babies home to. It was more emotional than we had expected, but we knew it was the right move for us.
We are now just trusting in what the Lord has to come for us. We have explored ALL possibilities, and have gone from building a new house, to buying, to renting for a year or so. We are beyond thankful for my wonderful in-laws who have so graciously opened up their home to us. They have loved on, encouraged, and supported us through every decision, and have really helped make the transition easy on the kids. I know that we'll always look back and treasure the memories we've made while living here for this short time. Nana and Pop Pop have been able to experience many of Layla's "firsts" which has been so fun for them! Just last night she took her first real steps and it was such a fun moment for everyone!

We've been enjoying many of the parks on the island that we usually don't make it to.
Nana's laundry basket has provided hours of entertainment for my two.
Layla has developed a LOVE for birds! She will sit for the longest time watching the birds at the bird feeder. They seem to eat all of their meals together!
Stay tuned for house updates! But be warned...things change hourly!
