We have lived in Youngsville for 7 years now all of which has been in our current house. When we built this house we expected to live in it for a short time before moving on to a bigger home. Well, life lead us down another path. We began our search last summer just "looking" around at subdivisions in the Youngsville area. Then in August of last year our family changed. We discovered we were being blessed with our fourth child-much to our surprise. We stepped up our search knowing we had to find something to fit our growing family. Much to our dismay, nothing seemed to fit us, but our 1200 square foot house was closing in on us. We needed space. Then I began to feel very pregnant and ended up in bed sick the next 17 weeks. Steven continued to look online at homes. During my second trimester, when I felt able, we looked at a few homes. We found a few we liked but got word the school districts were changing due to a new elementary school being built. With four children, schools are a major deciding factor in moving for us. I ended up on bedrest the remainder of my pregnancy so we decided to hunker down and make room for baby in our current home.
Early this past spring we saw things happening at Stephen's Glen. We saw trees coming down and a dirt road being plowed. It got us all excited. We waited and prayed to see some kind of signage as to what was coming. Then one day, Steven saw a little sign saying "Stephen's Glen coming soon." Steven came home that night and started researching online and discovered Garman Homes. After church one day, we drove thru Stonegate in Wake Forest. What beautiful homes. Then Steven emailed Jim Garman - we were instantly impressed that Jim responded so quickly to our request of information. Then the day came we actually saw construction happening. After many hours of fervent prayer, we knew what God was leading us to. We met with Jim and Chris one afternoon. Wow, was I surprised to see such down to earth, honest men eager to build me a home. Not a house but a home. Steven and I left that meeting knowing, this was it. God was leading us to this neighborhood. This was the subdivision we had been searching for all these months. God truly was providing for our family's needs. Who could better build us a home than the Garman team? From day one, we have been treated with nothing but kindness; a team really wanting to help us build a home to meet our growing families needs. No pushy sales people in stiff suits here, just good people full of compassion and integrity for what they do...build families homes. Words cannot express the wonderful experience we have had so far. Everyone has been so kind to us but one in particular sticks out-Chris. Every time we come to Chris with a question, comment or concern he is willing and able to give us an answer or resolution. He treats us with kindness and respect. Chris' attention to detail and strive for excellence makes me feel secure in knowing, my family is getting a well built home.
Last weekend Steven and I stood in our future kitchen looking out back envisioning our little ones laughing and playing in our new yard. We walked thru each bedroom placing our children's furniture knowing how happy they would be in their own space. Jim and Chris, you are not only building us a home but building a future for our family. I found this saying a few weeks back which really describes how we feel...
A house is made of walls and ceilings. But a home is made of lovin' feelings-Its good to be home!
We can't wait to be home.
