Most of you don't know that although we've been settled into our farmhouse for a year, we still have been carrying our previous house. What a year of stress it's been, carrying two homes. It seems that something has constantly broke and needed fixing this last year, in both houses. We were so tempted to get renters, but we knew there must be the perfect family who belonged with that house. And we were so right. They got the keys yesterday.
That house wasn't just a house-it was our home. We thought we'd stay there forever, we did so much work thinking so. We never thought we'd leave. We loved living there. It was our first home, the home we brought our babies home to. Our favorite place to be when life elsewhere was overwhelming. Our favorite place to be together. So many memories there. But you know, when your dream farmhouse comes on the market, things change.
Everything happened as it was supposed to. I had no reason to worry. Nevertheless, I feel elated today. Elated not only because we have only one home now, but because we are so happy with who ended up with that house, and we're excited for them to begin their journey.
Goodbye, our dear cape. We loved you so.
It's not ours any longer, but these memories will forever be mine.
Really, there's many sweet memories that I'll always hold. But there's also oodles more to make on our farm. So thankful. Thankful, indeed.
