When we first started looking at homes, our realtor told us that most people know it's the right home within the first five minutes of looking at it. He was right. We knew it when we walked in the door that this was the home we wanted to call our own.
It's funny how this happens. I didn't expect to ever have that feeling, especially because when we saw our home for the first time it was in the midst of being build. The walls had just been dry-walled and it was so far from looking like a home! We felt something special when walked into this home though, it was different than the rest. There was something about the layout, the location, and the land, that we fell in love with. It's hard to explain, but I'm sure each person who owns a home knows the feeling.
Our realtor also told us that many people end up buying the complete opposite of what they go in expecting to buy, which was also true for us. I never thought all the things we loved about our home, would also be the complete opposite of what we wanted.
I never thought we would be living in the town my husband grew up in, and he would have to commute to work.
I never thought we would buy a two story home, and we would have to go up and down the steps a million times a day.
I never thought we would live at the end of a cul de sac in a subdivision, and not in the middle of a city or out in the country.

Sometimes the best things in life are the unexpected ones. Ones where you listen to your heart and let God lead you.
He knows exactly what you need.
