Home Search
We are still at the home search. I know I know we just started three weeks ago, but it only took me a week in Mesquite to find our little family a home! And so there lies the problem. I am way too picky! We are not bedroom people..let me explain further.... The only time we are in our rooms, we are sleeping. The kids have toys in their room, but usually toys are in the family room and we all play together. So my point is this, all the homes we have been seeing are really big bedrooms and tiny everywhere else! We are very social people. We have at least one family over once a week. I want a place people feel comfortable coming over and plenty of room to sit on the couch and prop your feet up on the coffee table! And a kitchen where my kids can sit on the counter/stools and help me cook/bake! And tell me about their day! So I'm sure our realtor is getting frustrated(I can tell if the house has our name on it before we even get out of the car) since there have been a few we haven't even walked in! Anyway, Richard, Ashlyn, Carter, Braden, and I are praying God leads us to a home that will be blessed by Him and will Glorify Him.

I am totally with you about tiny bedrooms and big living space. That was one of our goals too. Melanie Wiginton needs how house that says, "HOSPITALITY" across the top of it;)
I completely agree with you. Bringing the family together and hanging out together should be the fun part of being a family. I was raised that way and I am raising my children that way. I can't imagine not wanting to be around my kids and be a part of their lives. I know that God will bless your search and bring the perfect house for your family. But always remember no matter where you are the people make the house a home. Your family is a special family and I know that you will find the special house very soon. Love ya'll!!!!
And you of all people would gladly feed them:)
Okay Jenny, that really made me laugh! I would be the pit stop for all hungry people in the neighborhood with a sign like that!
Danna,
I think that is why I am so adament about our children(include Richard in that please) not having a video game system. I see way too many kids and adults alike who cannot function without at least two hours a day. I know I am easily attracted to computer games, so I have to be very cautious about it for myself. I just want to sit and watch a movie as a family and play games (you think the kids are too young to start to learn Phase 10?). I know I remember that with my family.
