A New Beginning


We been in the market for a new home for awhile now, are intentions where to build on 40 acres of land we own in Marionville.  We had a builder, we meet with an architect, we had blue prints, we had a bid on our 'forever' home.  But something didn't feel right, there wasn't a peace about the whole situation.  We looked at the multi-list daily, praying something would come on the market that we loved, something we could raise our family in, anything.  But nothing came, but we still didn't feel at ease with building.  We then expanded our search to Republic, which was a HUGE decision for us.  It's only 20ish minutes down the road, but we were both raised in Marionville and moving to Republic would be a HUGE HUGE deal.  On March 2nd Nathan called our realtor, who is also a family friend and asked about going to look at a house.  She suggested we go that night.  So we did, we all loaded up and went and looked at the house.  Fast forward one week to March 10th, when we made an offer on that house. After a counter, another offer, another counter and yet another offer they accepted our offer on March 11th.  Talk about stressful!!  We officially closed on the house on April 7th and moved in April 12th.  I was most worried about making it a smooth transition for the kids, but they seem to be doing great.  We painted both of their rooms prior to moving and are still in the process of decorating.  But so far so good!  We are looking forward to making lots of new memories in our 'Republic' house.
