Now that I’m aware we will be leaving this house I am taking extra note of all the wonderful things about being here.
Not that I’ve never been
grateful or aware of being just a mile from walmart (and anything else we want), living on an awesome street with no sidewalks, lots of trees, and great
neighbors...
But all of the things I love about this place carry a
bittersweet finality these days.
Yesterday,
you and I took half of the pinecones we’d picked at our park last week and made the bird
feeders we’d planned for them. We did it on the front lawn after I
raked and blew the leaves into a huge pile for you on the end of our lot by the
road.
As
we played and worked Mr. John came over from across the street. He played with
you, chatted with me, and then headed back to his yellow house to make homemade
pizzas for dinner.
We will miss him, for
sure.
Cole came home from daycare with his Daddy, and they came over so Cole could jump in
the leaves with you for awhile.
And just when I start thinking of how nice it might be to playdate with this sweet little neighbor guy, we are going to move.
Miss Amy came over to borrow some folding tables.
We chatted
for awhile.
And I couldn't help but think how we love and will miss her and Koola, too.

I hate to even think about not having the S’s on our street!!!
=(
And
at the same time, how nice it will be to have 2.3 acres for my boy to run and
play and climb and explore on. Never to worry about neighbor hood comings and goings.
To invite friends over for play dates, dinners, sleepovers, and parties with
bond fires and smores in the country.
Just think of the wildlife habitats we
can set up there! =)
To build stuff with you in the shop, and see your Daddy finally get the motorcycle he's always dreamed of.
God has so much in store for us, and I’m so excited about it
all.
So excited that I can’t even sleep!
Kind of like when I was having a baby. =)
