Why Blessed Foundation?  

Well... to state the obvious: We are so blessed.  

Alan and I recently graduated from A&M.  Shortly after, we were married and living in Houston.

In the literal sense of the name: We were blessed to buy a beautiful house in a gorgeous neighborhood that we fell in love with the moment we first stepped inside.    Let us clarify, though: we fell in love with the bones of the house -- we loved the layout, the windows, the space, the yard -- but our style was no where to be found.  We don't know if it was the dark green wallpaper in the entry way or the stained glass stickers on the windows in our bedroom, but we knew that we would be getting ourselves into something big by taking on this house.

But our vision is big.  More than the colors on the walls, we imagine big dinners and family gatherings, music playing throughout the house, the smells of a big breakfast filling the kitchen, hosting, entertaining, curling up on the couch during a thunderstorm, and backyard bashes in the Springtime.  We want to create a place where anyone can come to feel loved and at home and at rest.

But back to the name -- "Blessed Foundation."  While falling in love with the potential in our future home, we knew that the foundation of the house needed repair.  24 pillars and a lifetime warranty later, we had ourselves a contract with the sellers and we were well on our way to owning our first home -- a non-sinking and much closer-to-level home, let us add.  

  

We definitely have our work cut out for us, but that was exactly what we wanted.  We are so excited to begin projects together and to start bringing life and style back into our house.  This is not going to be an easy undertaking, but we are looking for a challenge.  Are you ready?  We can't wait!
