We have a dream



Jesse and I dreamed and planned a life together... it came true.
We dreamed and not so planned 4 children... it came true.
We dreamed not having to move away from family... it came true.
Yes they did move away.
We dreamed of building a castle... and it is coming true sort of.

So the castle that we dreamed of together (it was really a literal castle) changed as we aged and became more realistic.
The castle dream became a dream home.

We think we have found that home for us.
It is not our original dream, God has a way of changing those, but it will be our "castle".
One day in the future we may get closer to our literal castle and replace the siding with a stone facade.

And that dream about living close to family... looks like that will come true for a season.

And you can't see it from the way we took the picture but our "dream lot" is a constrution dumping ground. We are standing next to a huge dumpster and half the lot is piled with discarded cement.
I like to think that God kept it messy to save it til it was time for us to buy it.
