I can't believe it's finally here. It really does feel like we were just in Bakersfield, house hunting by Internet, sending earnest money to a home in our price range just where we wanted it without actually seeing it in person. Emma was a baby in diapers, I was pregnant with Landon and Ryan had just about earned the title of Doctor. My house. It's not a floor plan I love. It needs an extra bathroom, a finishing in the basement, it needs more living space. But, part of my heart loves this house- our first home. We brought Landon home here. And then Jackson. Tanner started school here. We've had old visitors come to stay and made new friends here.
I don't want to go through residency ever again. I won't ever have 3 babies so close together either- these years in Kentucky I will refer to as my "Babyhood" years. But, in this house life really happened. There were some happy times. My heart will miss her.
I hope she finds a good new owner.
ps- we find out the end of March our orders from the Air Force. We know they will place us stateside. We know we have 20 possible options. The first of our requests being Davis, California, and the last being Anchorage, Alaska. I won't pretend. We've had some major praying going on here to put us in the "right place". Ryan will most likely be deployed for 6 months. Being near family would be a lifeline for me. It would help me just cope. Feel free to offer up prayers for "one of the Williams top 5". :)

Hey, what about Utah--any chance? I would love it.:)
Or Arizona? We will be praying for you either way. Good luck with everything. We will also be praying that your house will sell. We are excited to go back to the states in 6 months. Canada has a been a fun adventure, but it is getting tiring. The snow is a bit draining...

Good luck with the sale. And our prayers are with you for the "right place". It kind of makes me nerveous that our futures rely on a Match, or an outside source and we don't really have the final say. That's when A LOT of prayers are said and blind faith come into practice. It's hard, but the Lord ALWAYS knows where that "right place" is for us.
I want to see the virtual tour when it posts. Let me know. Lacey- do you really have any doubt that the Lord will put you in the "right place"? Even if it's not your top 5, I am positive it will be where the Lord needs you to be. Look at Greneda. Not what you thought but still a good dtepping stone. I just hope wherever you go that you don't serve in the nursery! I love you and am glad the house pix are done! If I were there I would bring you a YUMMY dinner!
Welcome to the craze call home selling! I am actually surprised that it is easier than I initially thought. I just hope the right family comes along. Its a little anxiety-filled.
Hopefully the military will be kind...we will be thinking happy thoughts of Davis=))
Lacey you always end up just where you need to be. I hope that there aren't too many mishaps :) They always seem to happen to the Williams.
I love you Lacey! I will pray that you can be near family. Davis would be nice, maybe then we'd get to take a little trip to see you!
We're coming with you right? Don't neighbors stick together and go wherever the other goes? So, I will pray for "our" top 5!!!!
I can't even drive by your house without feeling sad. Nothing will be the same around here without you! You've brightened the lives of so many people (including me!) and you will be VERY missed. Our prayers are with you guys! - Kristine
We fasted and prayed for you Californians to come back home. It's in our blood. The ocean, the mountains,and a whole lot of people that love you.
Woo hooo! Here's to selling it fast! You know you can crash at my house any time, right????
Oh I hope so badly for your sake that you get somewhere in California. You've definitely paid your dues, and you deserve it!
Aww. I know how you feel about your first house. I just recently moved and it was hard leaving the house hat I brought my little man home to and raised him for almost 2years there.
It's definately time for you to call some place home for a while longer. I hope you get Cali too so you can be by your fam and your support system. Being the daughter of a military man I know the wife serves the country just as much. Letting your hubby leave and being a single mom takes a lot of work and deserves just as much credit. Good Luck! Is Billings on the list?
