To The Family

Well we tried again, we put another offer on a house. This house met 90% of our dream list, and the pieces that are missing are made up by the dream neighborhood. We arrived early for the open house, and spent some time walking around the quaint little neighborhood. We wondered down to the pond with Chuck, and imagined spending our Sundays doing the same thing. We watched as children rode their bikes, scooters, and pogo sticks (yes pogo sticks) up and down the street. 

As we walked through the quaint home we imagined what it would be like to host our families on Thanksgiving in the open kitchen. We spent time in the master bedroom looking at ways we can expand the master bathroom so that it is accessible, and ideal for our life. We looked at the backyard, and figured out how we would add to the deck for ideal summer fun. We looked at the room next to what would be our room, and decided it would be the perfect nursery when our time comes. As we wrapped up our open house we looked out the front window, and saw the neighborhood kids playing hockey in what would be our cul de sac. 

Has many of our friends and realtor suggested we wrote a letter to the family of this home trying to win their hearts in this journey. Below is the letter that we submitted, and we just heard that we are officially UNDER CONTRACT. 



  

When we received the counter offer from the seller's  this sweet little snippet was included, 
"Well done, a nicely written contract and David and Crystal LOVED the letter! It made Crystal cry, sounds like exactly who she was praying for!"

So if everything goes as planned we will call this beautiful home ours on April 7th! 


We ask that you join with us in prayer as we continue through this journey. Please be praying that if for any reason this house is not meant to be the lord will close the door. Pray for David and Crystal as they began to say goodbye to their first home, and search for a new one. Pray for Kaleb and I as we began to do this thing called adulting. 

Xoxo,

Learning Curve

As I sit here this morning trying to put all the words that are in my head onto this paper I am having a hard time coming up with the right way to describe what I am hoping to change/do with this blog in this new season of my life. See writing has always been a passion of mine , but finding the time , finding the bravery , and just doing it is where I have struggled. I have kept this blog as more of a personal place where I write about what life is like as a Wilson here on Dusk Way , but over the years I have had dreams of making it into more of a lifestyle blog . I have so many passions and thoughts that run through my head on a daily basis but fear has held me back time and time again. Fear of not being a successful blogger , fear of what friends and family would think , and most of all fear of letting myself down . But now it is time to put that fear aside and just write, so hopefully this blog will be going through a learning curve . Ideally this blog will move from...

My Side Of That Horrific Day

Today is September 1st which in it of itself brings so many wonderful things. The start of football, which is just absolutely perfect, the start of pumpkin spice everything, and the start of Spinal Cord Injury Awareness month. This month is something that honestly up until four years ago I had no idea existed, but four years ago we joined a very rare club and our lives have looked different since. Over 200,000 people live with a SCI in the United States and Kaleb is just one of them. The next month my goal is to share my side of Kaleb's injury, Kaleb's side of his injury, the road to recovery, and where we are today.  November 10th 2012, the day our world changed forever. This was one of those days that I will remember every moment, every detail, and every emotion. I had just turned 21 five days prior and was still living in the birthday celebration glow. That morning was busy with trying to get things done through out the day so that I could head to a family member's ho...

It's Okay to Not Be Okay

How often do we go through life pretending that everything is great; we post only the best photos, we smile when we would rather cry, and we float through life faking it the best we can. We run into friends at church on Sunday mornings and chat about how wonderful we are and how great everything is, but we leave out the fact that all we could really use is a hug and a gentle reminder that it's perfectly okay to not be okay. In fact the crazy part of it all is it's perfectly normal to go through life with emotions, heck Jesus himself felt emotions. I'm sure we all remember when he got mad in the temple and flipped the table, well in that moment he wasn't okay. As a new mom still adjusting to this wonderful world of motherhood I find myself not okay pretty often. I'm either exhausted because the baby didn't sleep or because the baby nursed all day, or I'm feeling a little lost trying to rediscover my role as Brittany, or I'm just a little anxious becaus...
