The search is almost over..

Erik and I have been praying hard about whether God wants us to move or not. We have been diligently looking for 6 months for the "nearly" perfect house for us! God has been so faithful throughout this process, and he has closed doors that we tried to open. snicker snicker... We widened our search from Discovery at Spring Trails, Spring Trails, Creekside, and other neighborhoods in The Woodlands. Our hearts belong to Spring Trail because of the great memories that were created here. However, we knew at some point-- our memories would have to be broadened  a little. So, we began our house hunt in June. We looked at all sorts of builders from building a house, buying new, or even preowned homes. We finally found a beauty in Creekside located in The Woodlands. This builder's floor plan had it all: Gameroom, open kitchen, huge rooms, and of course a scrapbook studio for me. We prayed about our decision and felt God was opening up a door for us. We pursued on signing a contract on the home. However, the contract fell through for several reasons.

Our hearts were broken, but we continued to give glory to God and continue praying! At this point, we felt that God was shutting all doors for "moving" so we continued to seek Him in anything we did! Our diligent house hunt was done. I decided to "finish" decorating my current home. We both love our current home why not DECORATE IT to the fullest. We did that... and we renovated some things and added some! Our house was absolutely breathtaking! It was the perfect home for a little family.

We made a lot of memories looking at all 40 something homes, frames, and land lots.

In Mid- November I get a phone call from a realtor (Johnny Schiro) who received my information from the first neighborhood we looked at (Discovery At Spring Trails). I answer my phone and we catch up. I tell him our story and how we are done looking. He tells me his listings that he has in those areas we were looking at. I didn't want to talk to him, so I told him to email me the listings. I get home and open my email up. Of course, I knew already I wasn't getting my hopes up on a house. I see a house in Discovery At Spring Trails located on White Sage Cove! I click through the pictures and my heart flutters. Immediately, I fell in love with the house. I got the "this is it" feeling except for the cabinets. I knew Erik wouldn't go for it. So, I prayed about it in peace. I asked God to reveal Himself if this was the house for us. A few weeks went by and Erik and I get a phone call to do a photo shot in The Woodlands. We were on our way and Erik and I got "house" fever. We made our way through all the model homes located in the neighborhood, and I reveal the "house" I had in mind. The one located on White Sage Cove. Giddy at the time revealing to Erik what I have been "secretly" praying for I tell him and show him all the details on my iphone!

Erik and I decide to visit the house with an open mind. We walk in and we both immediately got the "this is it" feeling. I tell Erik I love this house except for one thing! The cabinet color needed to be a bit darker for me to call that my kitchen. He agreed on the cabinet color, and we called Johnny for more details.

Days later we meet with Johnny and discuss the house, offers, and etc. business details. We gave an offer on the house that night. The next day, we get a phone call saying the "man behind the curtain" will meet you at this point. Erik and I pray about it and decide on the highest number we would be willing to go up to. Erik and I thought it was a long shot for " the perfect storm" for all this to work out. So, we wait patiently for days. We finally get a phone call and he rejected it. Erik and I were not heart broken because we knew God was in complete control and we were so blessed to have a place to call HOME.

That next day it was a Friday! I was at work when Erik called me and told me the "guy behind the curtain" will meet us with the number we gave him. SHOCKED as can be....I simply asked God is this you in this situation and do you want us to do this? I have felt peace about this entire situation I told Erik I feel that this is right, however let's pray about it and let him know Monday. We prayed that entire weekend for His will, peace, and direction. On Monday, we both felt at peace about this decision and told Johnny to tell him we will go for it! Before we knew it we had two houses....

We hired Johnny to be our realtor to sell our current home as we got ready for the new house!
Johhny and his team came to the house and took pictures!
Here are the pictures of our beautiful home we are selling...

Now, we are selling! So, please pray for us...throughout this decision! Pray that God is the center of it all and this is Will :)
