Big News! We’re Moving!
Y’all! I cannot even believe I’m typing these words! This has all happened so fast, but it’s true, we.are.moving!
And, we’re moving . . . WEDNESDAY!
Let me back up and start from the beginning! A month ago, I wouldn’t have dreamed we’d be moving. We have lived in our home for about 12 years and were quite content there.
I’ve been looking around casually for the last few years, but never saw anything that felt right or that I liked better than our current house.
In those searches, I came across a builder whose work I LOVED, and I started following them on Instagram. They’re a darling husband and wife team and everything they do is done with such thoughtfulness, style, and attention to detail.
But, they don’t do very many projects, and the ones they do go fast. So, I just admired their work from afar. I really wasn’t even looking to move, but I was also open to the possibility should something pop up.
One Saturday morning I was scrolling Instagram, and the builders posted that one of their homes was on the market. #noway!!!!
I immediately called my friend Tarah, who also happens to be a Houston realtor and went to see the house that day.
As soon as we drove up, I was smitten. And when we walked inside, it felt like home. ♥
I could totally see us living there and being so happy.
The living room opens right up to the backyard with big sliding glass doors. And it’s close to outdoor parks and nature that would help us get outdoors more.
It’s convenient to everything my kids do and is about the same size as our current house, but with more functional, better use of space. And it’s almost new and so very pretty inside!
I’m sure you’re curious if Brian and I are moving in together, and the short answer is no, not yet at least;) But, we have talked about it and down the road, we could easily live there together with plenty of room for everyone.
I put an offer on the house the day after I first saw it. It’s been hard to hold something so big inside, but I wanted to make 100% certain it was a done deal before I said anything.
And I needed a minute to absorb everything and take it all in. I was in shock for about a week and every time we visited the house, I honestly couldn’t believe this was happening.
The shock is slowly fading into a peaceful excitement.
It’s really happening!
I feel so grateful. It’s a fresh start, a true blessing after the ups and downs we’ve been through.
It’s been a crazy few weeks, lots of paperwork, phone calls, inspections, reports, checklists, documents, not to mention, preparing to sell my own house!
It’s serendipitous how all the changes I’ve made to my house over the last three years has actually prepared it for new owners!
The guest room and dining rooms are completely redecorated, I replaced the dilapidated fence and the 12 year old appliances, upgraded the mudroom, switched out several light fixtures, lime washed the stone on the house and painted the siding.
I didn’t realize at the time how those changes would prepare our home to be put on the market. I didn’t even know when I did my mudroom that I’d be moving the next month! Isn’t it crazy how things happen?!
A wonderful family made an offer on my home the first day it was shown and I feel really happy thinking about them making it their own.
God has been so faithful every step of the way. When I feel unworthy to be in such a good place or worried, waiting for the other shoe to drop, He gives me that gentle peace inside. I don’t feel anxious or unusually stressed.
I feel . . . ready.
I’m ready to move, ready to live in a new space with my family, and ready to share this next chapter in our lives with you!
Thank you so very much for sticking with me through these past several years. It’s been a journey and we’re about to embark on a new chapter together!

Thank you Kellie, I can’t wait to share!
It looks like I am ready to walk into to a gracious and welcoming home!!! Congratulations!
Does your home have a pool? NO NEED to answer. We will all find out soon enough. I know you had mentioned that from time to time.
Hi Andrea! Great question, it doesn’t, but could fit a small one! Maybe someday!
I so admire you for taking the plunge. It takes a very brave girl to do something monumental like this and there are not many of us who are that brave! Cannot wait to see the new place. Best of luck and a future of happiness.
That’s such a sweet thing to acknowledge. I’ve never bought a house on my own, so it’s a huge step for me. I think brave is correct, but I haven’t taken the time to consider that yet. Thank you for that encouragement Trisha!
Congratulations! How very exciting! Written with such grace to your past and excitement for your future!
Thank you Angela, it’s time for a new beginning!
Congratulations ? so happy for you! You are an inspiration!
Thank you Sylvia! I appreciate you!
Congratulations Megan! Moving to a new home is always exciting, so I know you and your beautiful children will be very happy in your new home! Sending God’s blessings to you and your family. ??❤️
My husband and I are planning to move from Washington to Arizona or Texas next year….I’m looking forward to “warmer weather”! ?
That’s a big move! We moved from Ohio to Texas in July and I about died! I was so not used to the heat and humidity! But the mild winters are nice!
Congratulations! What an exciting time for your family!
Thank you Kathy!
Congratulations! A fresh start is always good. I’m excited to see how you make this new house a home.
Thanks DeShon, it’s going to be so fun! I’m thankful to have you along for the ride!
So happy for all of you! Can’t wait to see pictures of your new beautiful home!
I can’t wait to share!
Congratulations to you and your family! I hope the move goes smoothly.
The new house sounds beautiful, but I’m not going to lie. I’m going to miss seeing your amazing closet?
#ClosetGoals
Moving is bittersweet, we have lots of wonderful memories here and there’s certain parts of my home I might miss too!
Congrats Meghan and Family! May god continue to bless you ❤️
Thank you so much Melissa. Blessings on you too!
Been around for along time maybe since James was a baby or really little. So happy and thankful right along with you. Let us Praise The Lord from whom all blessings flow for your new chapter.
Major congratulations! How exciting for you and your beautiful family! I have been following you for years now, and truly love the kind of person you exude. I enjoy reading your blog, fashion and home tips…but your thoughts here “God has been faithful every step of the way…..” really resonated with me.
