We are out! We moved out, finally. No more basement home for us... we are out and my heart is happy. I'm so thankful that my parents allowed my new little family to set up camp there while we got money and just life in order, but it's time for us to go.
Before leaving, I gave those gray walls a kiss. I closed my eyes and quickly ran through all the unexpected memories I shared with that space. I very rarely went down there when I lived at home before college. It was just a basement to me...a dark and cold place.
But after spending 10 months there,
I appreciate that area more than I ever thought I would. And it wasn't always dark. Those two windows and that bay door did a great job of letting light in!
Those walls saw me go into labor..
they saw us bring our baby home...
they saw me enter the world of motherhood
they witnessed the ups and downs and those chaotic new mama moments.
They saw us starting to get it!
...this parenting thing.
They saw us happy and joyful.
Overall, It was a good stay
But definitely time to go.
Our new place is beautiful to Kyle and I! It's so nice to have a place of our own.
I love how the sun shines into my daughters room in the morning.
I love my new "spa blue" sheer curtains, especially when the windows are open.
And I love having a kitchen! I'm not the best chef, but I love to cook. So I'm so very happy to have a little kitchen to love and make my own.
Still have some unpacking to do.
But soon enough I will find a spot for all our belongings.
