Goodbye...Crow Wing Heights Drive

Our last family photo taken at Crow Wing Heights Drive. Carter is 20 months old in this picture.

Well, as I mentioned in a previous post, we sold our house. It was definitely a plan from above. We had taken our house off the market on June 1st, deciding that 1 year on the market was enough. We decided we would stay where we were and build the 26x32 garage we always wanted. 1 week after starting the garage, we got a call from a realtor. There was a couple that wanted to look at our house EVEN though it wasn't on the market anymore. Bryan didn't want to, but I decided that if this couple was so interested in our house, they deserved a chance to look at it. They are living in our house right now! They loved our house and even looked at 50 total houses, yet still came back to ours. I feel like God knows what direction we should be heading in, and moving from Crow Wing Heights Drive was the right move.
So, back to the garage. Poor Bryan. In order to sell the house, he had to complete the garage in 4 weeks. What an amazing man Bryan is, along with our friends who helped so many nights and weekends. It all worked out in the end. We are settled nicely into your rental property and I'm very thankful we have somewhere clean and warm to rest our heads for the winter. We have already started to get the building site prepared for our next house and Bryan will be working on it from now until probably next summer to complete it.
It will be an interesting journey, but we feel blessed to have the opportunity.
