Memories

I am glad you get to take memories with you. This little piece of heaven was placed in our lives 11 years ago and I am forever thankful for every single memory within these walls. How do you say goodbye to so many memories? How in the world will I be able to close the door one last time? Kennedy had an emotional moment yesterday crying and crying about leaving here. I tried to console her, but most of me just understood that she needed to cry. She hasn't known anything else other than this house. Goodness we have grown up since that Christmas of 2004. 2 young kids, moving in and starting a family. We have walked through so much. A lot of prayer went through this precious house, a lot of tears, so many laughs, new babies, a new puppy, and more friends and family than we can count. We are blessed. 1650 square feet felt like a mansion and now I don't think we can put one more thing in here! Yet, as we walk through the next phase, I am incredibly thankful we are blessed enough to be able to provide a larger home for our kids to grow up in, and I don't take that lightly. It is my hope that our new home will be a new place of joy and laughter. I know hard times will fall upon us, but I am so thankful that no matter what the roof over our head looks like, that we are together. I have these people. These tiny humans that became people, that became my support, are my reason for living each day. This little family I get to call mine blesses me beyond words. I am looking forward to our new memories, yet so thankful for all the ones we get to carry with us. In a few short days our Middleground house will be someone else's, and I hope it means as much to them as it has to us.

Be still my heart. This little boy had it at day one and I love him more and more each day.
