Hello Dear Friends! Wow! It's really time for me to do this post....
A post where I sign off for a while to attend to real Life...
.. .
the paperwork for our new home has been signed....
It's time to pack up all our memories
and start afresh...
Time to say Goodbye :(
Goodbye to our ugly mint green door.
I'm not sure why the Apartment Complex chose this odd color for our front door...it certainly would not be my first choice...but is now etched into our minds...and photos :)
Goodbye makeshift mantel.....
My main area for Seasonal Decorating...
The focal point and backdrop for so much of the important milestones in our lives...
..and the first thing you see as you open that ugly green door....
But now...
It's already reverting back to the empty walls it began as....
....before a Marriage and a Family transformed it into a Happy Home....
That front porch has been my little stage through 9 years of Holidays and Celebrations!
From Western Themed Birthdays.....
To Autumn Welcomes...
I have always enjoyed making it something to be proud of...
Despite that green door...haha!
So now, I get to pack up our (messy) Lives into tidy brown boxes and make a change...
...a change of address, a change of scenery.....
... a change of proximity to those I lean on.... (we'll be so much farther away)
...and, yet, I am not having a change of Heart :)
As emotional as this move is proving to be.....thinking of all the things we'll be leaving behind....
It is also solidifying for me, that relationships are not defined by the miles between us, but by what we feel in our Hearts...
...And that what makes a Happy Home is not the 4 walls we reside in, but the people who reside there with us!
(Don't you just want to call your spouse right now, or give your child a great, big hug?! Go ahead...They deserve it.....I'll wait!)
Here is a look at where our new Memories will be created....
The plants are dead and neglected....
The house sits empty...waiting for the sound of laughter to fill it once again :)
Where my daughter will come home to after school....
....where my Hubby will be doing yardwork on the weekends....
...And where my new stage will be...
to welcome Friends and Family.
(That furniture was left by the previous owners)
....And look....no ugly Mint Green Door!
Though, I will miss that door....and all it represents in my memory soooo much!
So, Good-bye Dear Friends...
....at least for a little while, as I get things in order around here...
and make the biggest move of my Life :)
I'll have so much to share with you upon my return!
Hugs to you all,
Cam
btw: I've changed my email address so I won't lose touch with anybody:
