Our Family: Our Golden Ct. house is no longer "golden."

Our Golden Ct. house is no longer "golden."

Well, for those of you who have not heard the latest news on our home buying experience. The home we loved did not go through. Not at any fault of ours. The sellers owed more money than they could pay and so one of the two banks they had a loan through, denied them the opportunity to sell the home. That bank thinks that they will be able to make more money off of the home if they foreclose on it and take it to auction. There is, however, another home just a few houses down that just dropped their price to our range so we are going to look at it tomorrow to see what we think. What is so confusing to me is that we felt good about purchasing that other home as we prayed to ask Heavenly Father for his confirmation, but for some reason, it is not working out. Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions or perhaps Heavenly Father was okay with us purchasing that home but we still have to understand that other people are a huge factor in this decision and those people still have their own free agency. So...what do we do now? We are still not 100% sure but we are still praying for guidance and we will look at this home tomorrow and see how we feel about then take the next step necessary. Let us know if y'all have any suggestions.

Oh man, these are the times that faith, hope and trust are the hardest! I "hope" something works out--I'm sure whatever's best, right?

We had a similar situation with our home. The first home we were purchasing and had a closing date on, ended up being wrong. We had felt so right about it and once things started going, it felt completely wrong. BUT, through that we were guided in other areas and other prayers were answered. Then when we bought our house we have now, it was very right and we knew right away. It took less than 30 days for the offer and closing on it. It was amazing! Do NOT get discouraged. Heavenly Father has amazing ways at answering our prayers. It felt right for a reason, and other prayers may be answered through that. I'm sorry you guys are having to go through that. I know you will be faithful and keep seeking answers. Maybe the feeling of being right wasn't necessarily the house, it might be right to get a house, just not that one. I love ya! I"m excited for when you guys get your house.

I agree with you Shara when you said, that you have no control over the agency of others. It's just hard when you have to stand around and just let it happen to you without any say in the matter. Hang in there, maybe there's something better just around the bend! Good luck!

This is us!

Welcome to our Family Website! We decided to start a family website so that our family and friends will be updated on what we're up to over here on the East Coast. Brian and I met in October of 2003 and were married in August of 2004 in the Vernal, Utah Temple. It was a beautiful wedding and we still have pictures up on the walls of that very special day. We didn't wait long to start creating a family. We welcomed KennaDee in our arms in May of 2005, Jackson joined us in November of 2007, Nicholas "Nico" arrived July 30, 2010 and our baby girl Reagan joined our family on January 17, 2014. As a family, we enjoy going to the park together, visiting new sites, watching movies, cooking, playing outside, and basically doing anything as long as we are together. We moved to Virginia in November of 2007 and we really like it here. It is very green and beautiful. Everyone needs to come out and experience it. We love the ward we are in and hope to stay in the ward boundaries for a long time. We love attending church and learning more about the gospel and how we can strengthen our relationship with our Heavenly Father. We continually have to thank our Father above for the sweet blessings He has given our family.

Brian

Brian graduated from Brigham Young University in April of 2006 and started working as a Public Affairs Specialist for "The President's Own" U.S. Marine Band in Washington, D.C. in June of 2006. He loves it. It is a perfect job for him. He loves music and we are able to attend all the concerts the Band puts on. The public affairs office is in charge of several things but to sum it all up in a short and sweet sentence: Brian, basically does all he can to promote the Band. He deals with media, publishes articles about the Marine Band and has recently been given the title "graphic design specialist."

Apart from his day job, he is working on writing a children's book which the children themselves are helping him illustrate and write. He is also improving on his photography skills and hoping to get his own website built for his free lance design work.

Shara

I graduated from Utah Valley State College in April of 2007. I graduated in Elementary Education and love teaching children. Right now, I am enjoying staying at home with Nicholas and Reagan. There is just no other job that can be so fulfilling emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. I don't know who is learning more...me or them. The great thing is, is that we are learning and growing together. During the day, we love to play at the park, cook, clean house (Nico really likes helping - I hope it sticks with him for years to come), read books, do puzzles, watch movies (mainly anything with power rangers, swords, or fighting).

I am also a member of Herbalife Inc. I enjoy helping others develop a nutrition plan so that they can not only get to the weight they want but mostlyto achieve healthy, active lifestyle. I strongly believe that if you are healthy and active, you tebd ti be a but happier with life in general.

KennaDee Joy

KennaDee was born on May 21, 2005. She has become very active and loves to run around, play outside, watch movies, help me cook and clean, and play with dadda. Since she has been born, she has lived in 7 different homes: 2 in Provo, 1 in Orem, 2 in Maryland and 2 in Virginia. She has quite the personality. Upon meeting her, she seems very shy but once she gets used to her surroundings, watch out! She can be demanding, but she is very sweet and already has her daddy wrapped around her finger. She is very smart and knows it. KennaDee is a joy in our lives. We absolutely love and adore her. She is a precious daughter of Heavenly Father and we hope to teach her all she needs to know to develop her own testimony of Jesus Christ and be able to withstand the temptations of Satan that she will be faced with.

Jackson Brian

Jackson was born November 23, 2007 in Bethesda, Maryland, although we were living in Woodbridge, VA. He is a joy in our family. He loves his siblings so much and adores his older sister. Although it is hard for him, he is always willing to sacrifice for the happiness of others. He is considerate, patient and VERY loving. He LOVES to rub your neck and cuddle and give kisses. He also loves playing sports, watching super mario bros, and wrestling with his brother. He has many characteristics of Christ that we all admire.

Nicholas James

Nicholas was born July 30, 2010. This boy is a firecracker. He knows what he wants and he is always determined to get it. He is not afraid to stand alone and I'm hoping that will carry with him throughout his life. He is stubborn and hard headed yet at the same time he ALWAYS thinks of his siblings and wants to be with them all the time. He is very picky about his friends but once you make it on the list, he's completely loyal to them. We love him dearly and are grateful he was sent to our family.
