Patience isn’t always an easy lesson to learn, but it’s one the Palmer family has championed time and again.

When he returned home, he said to Layla, “You’ve got to see this place.” With the neighborhood’s idyllic movie set charms and a setting nestled between cotton fields and a gorgeous lakefront, the Palmers knew they had found their dream home. Unfortunately, at that time their dream was out of their reach.
