Yes, you can call me out. I’ve been MIA (missing in action) on the blogging platform. But, for good reason. The man and I packed up our belongings in preparation for a move into what will be our first official home. It’s been a busy season this past fall and I’m ready for a break.

Pictured above is our last family photo in the first place we had the pleasure of calling home.

I thought departing from this place would be a joyous occasion. But instead my heart is met with sadness. This is the place we spent our first years as husband and wife, day by day, morphing into one. It’s a place that housed growing pains, lessons, sadness and then there were moments of freedom, laughter and most of all, love. A lot of love. As we embark on creating a new home, I’ll certainly hold onto the memories wrapped within these walls. Moving isn’t fun, and sometimes life isn’t fixed up to be a magical fairytale, but that’s when it’s okay to surrender, and let love win.

I’m looking forward to stock piling a few more posts of the next few weeks. So please, stay tuned.
