Reminiscing

As I lay in bed for the last time at our first house, I can't help but to feel a little sad. An amazing chapter in our lives is closing. We are so excited for our new house and can't wait to make many memories there. However, it's hard to not think back to all the amazing things that have happened in this house. 

We were thrilled when we bought this house the summer of 2009. We couldn't wait to move in and get it furnished. Since then, our lives have changed and our family has grown. Our needs are different. We knew this day would come sooner than later buying a 2 bedroom house, but moving is easier said than done. 

This house wasn't just our first together. It was so much more. Kurt proposed in our bedroom on a rainy evening in May. This was the house we brought Olive home to after we adopted her. We spent time rearranging the house after we got married and received so many wonderful gifts. I labored for far too long in this house! And most importantly, this was the house we brought our baby girl home to after a stressful 48 hours in the NICU. 

We've had our fair share of late-night parties, lazy weekend evenings, and mornings where we slept in longer than we should have. After almost 4 years, it's hard to remember all of the good times we've had together in this house. 

Tomorrow, a new chapter begins in our lives. Of course there are a few things we'll miss about this house {mainly two specific neighbors!}, but our new house and new neighborhood are going to be better than we could have imagined for us. We'll never forget all the amazing memories we made in this house and I can't wait to make even more in our next. 

It's been real 2335. We'll miss you.
