Something big I have learned lately is SLOW down, and wait! I tend to say "yes" to everything and stress out easily, but in the process of this move I have learned to say "no" when I need to, and go at a pace that my family needs. I no longer feel the guilt of not being enough or doing enough for my family. I quit needing to compare to everyone else, and just fully love and enjoy my family and what our needs are. We are a very unique situation and very special family with it's own set of needs and challenges. Even though I tend to want "it all", I've learned to focus on what MY family needs and not stress the other stuff.
The house we initially planned to build fell through with lots of delays (from the construction crew) and we ended up finding the PERFECT home for our family just a few miles from our previous home. The adjustment and in between selling and buying was only mildly stressful and the kids were troopers during it!
Our new home is our dream home for our family! It was 100% renovated with everything brand new and it had enough bedrooms and rooms that we can never outgrow it. We were able to buy all new furniture for the house, so it feels amazing to be in a new and fresh home!!
I truly hate the moving process, but with the help of friends and family we were able to move, unpack, and decorate all in two days. We never could have done it alone and am forever thankful for our amazing friends! Although this has been a trying time for our health overall, I am very thankful for the new house and for the fact we never have to do this again (at least for the foreseeable future).
Everything about this home fell into place perfectly. Even though we had lots of other plans, this ended up being what our family needed and has been an incredible blessing!
Here are some great pictures and glimpses of our new home :)
