First Home

Lots of good, whole-hearted living has happened within and just outside these walls. Our feet have touched every inch of space. Our children have learned to walk on these floors. Tiny toy cars have driven and mapped every floor, wall, and window sill. Little hands have covered all surfaces up to three feet high. This kitchen has cooked many meals, and been dirtied and cleaned many times over. These walls have heard much talking, crying, and laughing. There has been so much work and play, stress and relaxation, struggles and joy. We have brought two babies home, we have shared our space with friends and family, we have changed rooms around more times than I can count, and we have grown. In so many ways we have grown. This place holds many memories, and it will be bitter-sweet to say goodbye, because we sure did fit a whole lot of living into the time that we were here.
