We accepted an offer on our house today. I'm going to sign the contract in just a little while and we have an inspection scheduled for tomorrow at 6:00 pm. So, the search for a new house will begin. I am VERY excited. I am THRILLED for this part of our journey to be over. But, I tear up thinking about the moment when I will exit this house for the last time. This is the house that I walked into for the first time with my new husband and we laid on the carpet in the living room, staring at the pristine white ceiling, marveling at being homeowners. We laughed when we got up because we were each covered in little grey carpet fibers. This is the house I brought three beautiful babies home, where they had their first real baths, their first boo-boos, where I tuck them in every night, and where I fell in love with them. Will lost his first tooth here, and I got Molly ready for her first recital here. This house will hold a lot of beautiful memories for me. And, yet I know, there will be more loose teeth, more recitals, more firsts. Firsts I can't even begin to imagine yet, like first days of high school, and first dates, and first cars. So, as you can tell, I'm feeling very nostalgic. But, I'm also feeling very grateful for the next season and all the beauty it will no doubt hold as well.
We love you guys and thank you for your prayers during this time!
