Home

That saying really is true. Home is where the heart is! All of the sudden that word means so much more to me!! I think God might be preparing me for things that lie ahead.

While we have had our house on the market, I haven't been too concerned or worried....other than all the hard work, sweat and cleaning involved to keep a house in a 'showing' state at all times...while taking care of three kids (not that it has stayed that way at all times)! But this weekend, Robbie and I have both felt that this was it! We had two showings yesterday and we had one serious looker that came back today. All of the sudden I am sad....thinking about not being in this house. This is OUR house...MY family lives here!

There has been a lot of blood, sweat (and YES!) tears put into our home. We bought it with the intentions to fix it up. When we moved in everything was white! We painted every square inch of this house (not to mention some rooms that we painted more than once!), replaced all the flooring, added custom made shutters (thanks to my brilliant husband), totally re-done fireplace and mantel (once again, thanks husband!), new baseboards, new hardware, new landscaping...I mean, the list goes on and on! At the three year mark we were still doing work on this house!

My point - we have so much history here! Alexie was not even one when we moved in. This house is all my kids know. And today it hit me that this will not be my home forever. It has been such a great first home for us and I know God has the most perfect buyer already picked out! I pray they love it here, just as much as we do....whenever that time might be!!
