My Husband Rocks Friday

My New Living Room
I have always wanted a stove for a fireplace!!

My Husband SOOOO Rocks this week because he "Bought Me A House!!" !!! Those of you that have been following the continuing saga of "Where Will The Hill's Live" know what a huge answer to prayer a home is for us!!

It has been a year of uncertainty of whether or not we were going to build out here in the country or move back into town. With many frustrating months of dealing with the bank and mortgage company and a couple of thousands of dollars lost in the effort due to surveys, house plans and such; we finally decided to abandon the idea of living out here with my parents and start looking back in town. To catch up you can read this, this, or this. The saga is really too long to document all over again!!

Anyway, most of you know how Steve's work schedule goes. Construction never has time off and if you are not working, you are not getting paid!! It really is a double edged sword. With the economy so bad right now, we are grateful for building projects but the time away from family is really hard!! Steve and I have also really felt lead to get out of debt. We have not always been the most frugal couple and many bad decisions have not allowed us to use God's money in the way we should have. So when this house came up for sale in a neighborhood surrounded by friends, really reasonably priced and within walking distance from LeTourneau where Steve is building the dining hall, we couldn't refuse!! It is a perfect little wood-framed home with hardwood floors throughout and lots of charm. I am itching to get my hands on it and decorate!! We have a lot of updating and refinishing projects to tackle but we are looking forward to making this our home for a while!! I will definately update with before and after pictures and share this experience!!

Thanks again for all of your prayers and encouragement during this year of uncertainty. God is definately good and faithful!! Our only prayer now is to glorify Him and reflect His love!!

Entry Way!
There are hardwood floors throughout the whole house!!

The Kitchen has new slate floors that we will be taking
out as soon as we redo the kitchen! Not real fond of the color!

The backyard is really big and there is lots of room
for the boys to play, a garden and a dog!!

We have a contract to have the outside repainted but can't start that
until the weather is warmer!! Maybe March! I have the colors all picked out
and will share later!
