Home Sweet Home

This spring break has been nothing but sweet and full of blessings. I don't think I realized how tired we (Brett and I) were until we got this time to rest, spend time together, and just live slowly. I have enjoyed getting time to read (which only happens every few months), time with my man, and some much needed snooze time. I am utterly thankful for this week.... and I pray for continued rest and refreshing periods even after spring break ends. 

As I have previously posted, we have been house hunting for the past few months in the Garland/Rowlett Texas area near our church (Stillwater Community Church in Rowlett). We have been ready to live near our church family and finally be back in community. We have had a hard time finding a house that is in livable shape in our price-range but this week we found a keeper! On Tuesday we decided to put in an offer on a three bedroom, two bath little quaint house in Garland. We were unsure if our offer would be accepted because of multiple offers on the house, but we finally found out today that the house is ours!!! After our long search, we finally are under contract for a home of our own. Through this process, though it was long, the Lord has been very clear in where He wanted us to go. As I've prayed for our future home, I have asked the Lord to continue to be "black'n'white" with how He was guiding us to the right house. I am thankful for God's clarity and faithfulness in this process. Here's a picture of our sweet little home. We close on it April 17th!! 

We ended our blessed week with a date night. I savor date nights, because that means I don't have to cook dinner ;). In the spirit of our favorite show "Swamp People" we decided to go to Razzoo's to get some yummy Cajun food. (And it was soooo good!) 

I love this man :)

We decided to end this date with some ice cream to take home. Yum...
