Denial is always never my best friend: A tribute to our tiny awesome first home

We are leaving our tiny awesome first home soon. I'm in a little bit a lot of denial. It has been so great. 
Just look at it. I will miss it.

It might be cute to just us. But, we have lived in and loved this place like no other. 
We brought our tiny Eli home here. Look at his giant paci!!!
 We have started two babes into their first day of Kindergarten from these steps.
 We have plopped babies like flower pots in the front lawn
We have made beautiful things grow out of the sandy ground.
And spent countless days with our like-family neighbors who will never be matched
We celebrated holidays and plenty of awesome birthdays here with my notoriously amazingly self-decorated cakes. I am all booked up on orders. Sorry.

And enjoyyyed them
Dance, cheerleading, 49 seasons of soccer, girl scouts, water polo...whatever we could think of.


 We have mixed feelings about the whole thing and understandably so.
 But most of all, we are just excited!

I just knew that I'm so good at denial that if I didn't write this now, it'd just never be. Here's to new beginnings and a couple of acres of land for big gardens and fruit trees. And here's to awesome memories of a first home that we won't ever forget and to amazing neighbors that are like family to us. (We love you Murray's!) God has blessed us here, and we pray for continued blessings out on our new home on the range....

Blue House...the Clarks are coming!
