Moving Gratitude

Gratitude
  1. A week ago, we accepted an offer on our house (it’s been for sale for awhile)
  2. We spent every free moment for the next two days looking at houses to buy 
  3. There was one house that I absolutely had to see… we didn’t think it would be “the one” for a variety of reasons, but I insisted on seeing it
  4. The moment we walked in I knew it was my dream house!
  5. It has hardwood floors, the most charming kitchen, and a loft!
  6. Every room revealed more charming details like reclaimed wood beams, an open staircase, and a little hobbit door next to the fireplace
  7. We were left with lots of questions… and when we returned for a second showing, the seller was there!
  8. A super great guy, he told us all about the neighbors, neighborhood, house, and land
  9. We made an offer and after a bit of back-and-forth..
  10. We move in December 21th!

Thanks for the memories
