Pat & Ed French (also known as Poppy & Nana to Noelle) with Anna Kate.  Ed is famous to us as we have admired his houses for years!  Ed builds the most beautiful houses I have ever seen, and I hope and pray one day ours will be one of them!<\/p>\n

Just wanted to take a moment to get everyone updated on our house plans.  We have been in the planning phases of building a house for the past couple of months.  We found a lot and had a contract on it.  Ed and myself designed the most amazing floor plan in the world, the architect drew up several drafts and revisions, we paid our earnest money, signed the contracts, and were ready to build.  Ed went to close on the lot we had in contract, but somewhere along the way, the title company dropped the ball.  The close date had come and gone (within days), and the lot was already in contract with someone else before we realized what had hit us.<\/p>\n

This has been such a blow to all of us, going from building a house to back to square one (tree house forever) all within the week of Anna Kate’s birth.  I’ve been pretty emotional, but that just comes with the territory.  Anyway, we are being still and waiting to see what doors open and how God will bless our little family.  Until then, we are loving each other and enjoying the first precious moments with our sweet daughter.<\/p>\n

Every time I get nervous about our current living situation, I fervently pray this over my heart: "Do not be anxious about anything, but through prayer and petition make your request known to God.  And the PEACE that passes all understanding will GUARD your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus our Lord."  So be it! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
