Moving has been such a journey for our family and we have been really wanting to process as we go, being mindful of how we are dealing with the whole experience. Selling our house has been an emotional roller coaster for sure, but we are so confident that this is what we should be doing, and a move that we should be making.
Here's the hard part: the emotions.
This is our first house, where we brought our kids home, had special birthdays and celebrations, where our kids took their first steps, where we really became a family, grew in our marriage and where we became parents... We have put so much of ourselves into this house, but I forget so easily that home is not about these walls and this address, but about who is in it, and all the things that really matter are coming with me.
We will create a new space that feels like home, filled with memories and joy and laughter and tears. We will paint walls and do home repairs to make it what we like. We will have reading time in our big leather chair and early morning snuggles with the kids in our bed and pancake mornings and spaghetti dinners around our dining room table. We will watch our shows bundled up on our couch and I will sit at my big desk and journal the silliness of our family on this little blog.
The best part about this move is that Kit will be home so much more, and nothing makes our home feel more like home than that. We are so grateful that we have this opportunity to grow as a family and we just praise Jesus for going before us...
So as a tribute to this 60 year old beauty that we have called home for the last decade, here are some pictures that just seem to capture her perfectly.
(Kit, thank you so much for taking these for me.)
Jacaranda, you have been an amazing house.
Thank you for your walls and that we could call them home.♥
