We chose our future home and imagined our move here--four years ago. On a pleasant July evening, sitting on the riverside patio at Eagle, ID's Bella Aquila, we enjoyed a fabulous Italian meal and decided we would make Boise our home. We had fallen in love with the town, the landscape, the outdoor lifestyle and adventure possibilities, the friendly people who inhabit this healthy, growing metropolis.
Today, we went and signed final papers on our new home, and laughed at the location of the signing office. As fate would have it, it was EXACTLY right next door (and literally in the same building) to the Bella Aquila restaurant that we sat at that path-determining night.
We didn't know how long it would take; I think that if we'd had our way, we would have packed up our belongings and moved that year. I'm so thankful that's not how it worked out. In the past four years, we have lived a very special chapter of life.
We began our renovations business Casa Creations and were blessed with the wonderful experience of completing so many amazing projects, mostly working with people we were already very close to. Our jobs created deeper relationships with friends, clients and our community; those four years were an amazing opportunity to work and grow as a couple and business.
We enjoyed long visits and trips with our family and grandgirls in Georgia; I love all of the memories we've made during Spring Break and summer vacation time together!!! More than anything, these relationships made the past four years so incredibly special.
God blessed us with friendships in our church and community that enriched our life more than I ever could have imagined. It's hard to imagine that we will ever love a life and home more than we loved our life and home in Yazoo City, but as God gives me little reminders of the inspired decision we made four years ago, I have to believe that He has even greater things in store.
