What is happening now and What is next....

Hello from the Jamestown basement dwellers! Its been a while since my last post and thought maybe it was time for an update thus far. It has been six months since we sold our house and started our new Journey. If I am honest there has been times of mixed emotions from feeling blessed to have such an amazing family to being frustrated about not knowing whats next for us. I have come to realize however that I would make a terrible realtor because apparently I only know how to buy when prices are high and sell at rock bottom. (Can you sense my frustrations yet?) I never would have guessed the major swing in the housing market in only a few months. That being said lets move on from that topic shall we?!?

Nichole, Peyton, Owen, and I are all doing well and we have started to enjoy the warmer weather when its not raining! It is amazing how much of a difference just being able to get outside and run around can make in everyones attitude especially for a now four year old! Owen has really taken a liking to Peyton driving him around the house in her Jeep. The only problem now is every time he sees it and can't go for a ride he cries! It really is amazing how fast kids grow up and take the world head on! We have really enjoyed watching them grow and learn new things! Nichole and I feel very blessed to have a roof over our heads and a couple extra hands around to help out with the kids (Thanks Mom, Dad, and Uncle Dan!) We really don't know what we would do without you! So thats the mile high overview of whats going on for us these days without boring everyone with the play-by-play details!

Nichole and I have always believed this whole journey is being led by God and that he has a plan for our future! We both have felt like this could be the stepping stone to a much bigger journey. We are both doing our best to listen to what God maybe calling us to and being open to all possibilities. It is however difficult to feel this way and not know what it is He has planned for us. Nichole and I have gone through roughly 20 homes of which none feel like home to us. We both have come to the agreement that we are open to the fact that God could be calling us to another location, but we don't know where or when. We are also trying to be good stewards with the resources God has given us!

CALLING ALL PRAYER WARRIORS: Nichole and I would like to ask for your prayers that God would reveal his next step for our family. Also, that he would give us peace and patience as we seek his will for our lives and that we would honor him by going wherever he calls us. It is my own request that we may not get too comfortable or complacent with what we have today and miss out on what God has planned for us tomorrow. Please take the time to add us to your prayer list so that we may honor God with each passing day. May God's will be done here on earth as it is in Heaven!

Thank you in advance!
Nick, Nichole, Peyton, Owen, and Baylee too!
