Moving Day!

Wow, so much has been going on lately! We've been really trying to discern what God has in store next for our family ever since we went to a missions conference in Waco at the end of January. One situation we prayed through was moving back to Waco to attend an Elevate discipleship school for a year and the other was moving to Olathe, KS and getting plugged in to a great church and community here and to continue to work and develop Builder's Stone. After a lot of prayer and discussions with those close to us we decided that it was best to move to Olathe for now and continue what we started with our company. We put our house on the market around Valentine's day and got an offer exactly one month later around St. Patrick's day! We were so blessed to sell the house so quickly! With the house on the market and our decision still up in the air at the time we were short on time to find a place to live. Once we had decided Olathe, the search began. We decided that it would be best to rent for a year or two so we could find an area out here like we liked best and save up for a house that we could see ourselves in for awhile. Finding a place to rent was a lot harder than we thought it was going to be. Every house or place we found was already taken, or cost too much, or was in a bad area. After dinner one night we were pretty discouraged and just started driving around and came upon a FOR RENT sign! The street looked like we definitely couldn't afford it, but I always say it doesn't hurt to ask! We called, got to look at it, negotiated our price, and got it! Last weekend we moved and now I feel like we're pretty settled in! We have a great street with lots of kids, our house is at the end of the cul-de-sac, lots of trees, and plenty of room for all the toys! We are SO blessed!

Seriously- I can't believe how fast you have unpacked and settled in- that's impressive. The house looks great!
