A Fond Farewell...

On September 8th, we said goodbye to our little house. 

It was harder than I thought!  We had a lot of memories there....

I mean that is where both of our babies were born (well where we brought them home to!)

In that house we moved back to Emmett; paced for hours at all hours of the day (and night) with Brig as a colicy baby... and quite a few hours with Ellie also; had many family prayers; put blood, sweat and tears into remodeling it; giggled on the tire swing; where Brig looked out the window at his first snowfall; found out we were pregnant with Ellie; really found out what it was to call a place "home;" ran down the hallways on stick horses; where Brig learned to walk and potty trained; where we had friends and family stop by for visits; we laughed, cried, shared, teased and mostly loved in that house.

That's a whole lot to say goodbye to! 

I know...I just got a little sentimental for a little while:)

We are so happy for how blessed we were with this house. It really was a blessing in our life- it kept us steady in the present and propelled us for the future and we are grateful for the past that it gave us.

We made sure that we all said "GOODBYE" to each and every room before we left...

so we give a fond farewell to our little house that had big things happen inside and outside and say hello to all that lies ahead...
