8 months ago (August 2, 2017, to be exact), Brian and I went to look at a house.
Nothing extraordinary about that – we look at houses almost every day.
{Fun fact, our date nights include going to houses and riding by land. Yes, we’re true real estate dorks.}
This one was different…
I stopped in the driveway as we were pulling out and took this photo looking back over the yard.
What I didn’t know on that hot summer August day was that this one would be our next home. Honestly, I didn’t even know 2 weeks ago if it was going to actually work out. That’s another story for another day.
Tonight we received the unanimous approval from the Town of Mint Hill Commissioner Board to move forward with our dream, The Old Haigler Inn!
Y’all – The Haiglers are officially moving to Mint Hill!!!!
The journey to now has been so full of twists and turns and unexpected waiting. Oh, the waiting. 8 months…it kinda feels like we just had a baby!
God must think I’m good at waiting.
I’m totally not.
This is what I know is true –
Trust in the Lord and do good.
Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.
Commit everything you do to the Lord.
Trust him, and he will help you.He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,
and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.Be still in the presence of the Lord,
and wait patiently for him to act.Psalm 37:3-7 NLT
This part of our story is just beginning and we can’t wait to start this next chapter. Stay tuned, we’ll bring you along as it all unfolds.
Next step: actually closing on the property in the coming weeks. The current owners have been incredibly generous in working with us to get these approvals. Now, we have the green light to GO!!!
Thank you for your prayers, support, and encouragement. It means more than you will ever possibly know.

Congratulations from one Innkeeper to another. It is rewarding work and when God is in it, you can’t go wrong. He even turned some of our mistakes into Blessings. Looking forward to following your journey.
We’re gonna be Innkeepers!!!!! How cool is that?!? Thank you, Linda! We need to come visit soon for some advice.
Wow!!! God is SO good! Praying for y’all as you move forward and praying, too, for the ones who opposed this plan. May He build a bridge and bring peace to all.
