Being a homeowner isn't always easy. We just had a terrible hail storm on Tuesday that caused a couple of holes in our siding and of course we'll be the ones to pay to have it fixed. We've had our fair share of broken pipes, leaking window, furnace breaking, toilets needing to be replaced, etc. but being a homeowner is totally worth it!
I didn't want to move to Brighton at first because it was so far from everything. It's just a small little farm town with not a lot going on. Now that is exactly what I love about it! It's nothing compared to my hometown of Broomfield and it certainly doesn't compare to Dallas (at all!), but it's quiet and I like it.
We only knew one family when we moved out here and the husband happens to be the worship leader at our church. We live about 5 or 6 houses away from each other. I can see their house from my couch, bed, kitchen, closet and office.
When we moved into our house I was pregnant with Gabriella and only a few week from my due date. After giving birth to her I became a stay at home mom. Sometimes being a stay at home mom can be rather lonely. I'm the type of person that needs interaction with other adults.
I can't tell you how many times I go over to visit my sweet neighbors and come back feeling totally refreshed. I'm so thankful for them and how they always open their home to my family. This past weekend Jordan was over helping Troy with a project he's working on for their backyard and as our families sat together in their living I realized what a deep love I have for the Warwicks. They're truly an amazing family. They've seen us and our house at our best and worst and love us just the same.
Today was just another day where I need a little time out of the house with some adult interaction, so I went running to Tirzah who gladly opened her home to us and sat and chatted with me for a couple hours. I don't know what I'd do without them.
My friend ... this brought tears to my eyes! Thank you!!! I hope you know that I feel exactly the same way about you. Your friendship is beautiful and refreshing and I am so very thankful to have you for neighbors. Your whole family is such a huge blessing to us. Love you!!
