About
2 1/2 years ago I made THIS post. In 2010 we put our
house on the market in search of a little more room for our family. Six months
and almost 40 showings later our little house still belonged to us. We had even begun the process of building a new house just a few miles away. It was
stressful and disappointing. We knew we were wanting to add another little McGrew
to our crew so we took it off the market to focus on a different goal. Now that
there are 5 of us we feel that we are almost busting at the seams...and
the thought of adding a 4th child makes it feel even smaller! I LOVE this
house, and just like I stated in my post 2.5 years ago, if it was just a little
bigger I could stay forever! Aaron built this house in 2003. We started our
lives here together in 2005. We've come home to this house with 3
newborn baby boys and celebrated numerous birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas's
here. It holds MANY McGrew Crew memories!
We put the house back on the market in mid-January. Two days later we had an offer and it was sold. A week after that we found ourselves a new house. Quite a different story than 2010, which just reaffirms that God knew what the plan was all along, even though it stressed us out a good bit! Being as picky as I am I've learned that there will never be THE perfect house. But, we found a house that will fit our growing family and its needs quite well. And the fact that we will create many new memories in this new house makes it as close to perfect as you can come! Ironically, this new house is right down the street from the one we started building last time. However, I feel that the layout of this house is a much better fit for us! Pray with us and for us as we make this transition soon. Change is not easy for me...I know it will be hard to leave this place. But I know that God has great things for our family's future, and thankfully it includes a little more breathing room! :)
