This is it! As some of you may know, Jason and I have been casually looking at houses for a long time. We really like our house that we live in now, but we have never really felt like it was where we wanted to be for the long term. About 6 years ago, we bought 4.5 acres in Boerne and have always dreamed of building a custom home on it. However, as our family grew and our priorities changed, we have found that it really wouldn't be practical to be so far from our jobs here in San Antonio. Also, having the kids in school 30 minutes away from our daytime lives, wouldn't make much sense. But, we have always been enticed by the space and living a little more "country" than we currently do.
I grew up in the country and have always hoped that my children would have the room to explore, run, and play like I did. Living town has been great for us and the conveniences are unparalleled...if only we could find a combination of the two.
Well, I think we did. Jason and I are currently under contract on a beautiful home that sits on 3.5 acres on the edge of town. It is 15 minutes from my office, about 20 minutes from Jason's office, and they are building brand new schools that the kids will go to about 5 minutes from the new house. The house is a little bigger than ours now, has a pool, and lots of room for the kids to run and play. We are so excited about finding a home that we will likely live in for AT LEAST the next 20 years!
My parents lived in our home for 27 years and it was truly "home". I want to create that for my kids. I want our home to be the place where kids come to hang out and adults come to relax. I want it to be inviting and comfortable. I want it to be fun and safe at the same time.
Jason and I have been blessed time after time. We both have great jobs that have afforded us to live an amazing life. We have 3 beautiful children and now we are moving into a phase of our lives, in which we will be able to provide them with an opportunity to have the childhood most desired.
God is soooo good and I thank Him everyday for ALL the blessings in my life!
