Our Forever Home

Almost 2 years ago, as we picked our spot to put our baby Nolan. I looked up and saw some houses over the trees lining the memorial garden and I said that I wanted to live THERE someday. At the time it seemed far fetched due to the market. Almost 2 years later, many offers on multiple homes in that very neighborhood, we got our forever home. And the best part is our back windows overlook the church and memorial garden.

Homes over the trees

Last Tuesday, Chris and I got our long awaited for keys to the home we will raise our son. We got the call on Tuesday that we could FINALLY pick up our keys, it was really going to happen after multiple false starts and delays. On our way, we stopped to visit Nolan and just sat there thanking God for our new chance.

Look who has keys!!!

This new home is new beginnings for us yet it includes a very important part of our life, Nolan.

The best feeling ever was unlocking that door and the 3 of us walking over the threshold knowing that this was meant to be.

We were meant to live here, meant to grow our family here and most of all meant to be close to Nolan. This neighborhood is what I dreamed for our kids to grow up in, tons of children, neighbors that come out and crack a beer and mingle. A neighborhood that decorates for every holiday and a neighborhood that feels safe. This is what I remember growing up in, and it's what I want for my family. And now, here we are.
Tears of joy and a humbling reason to celebrate!

Welcome home family. We did it. We have our forever home.
