Home IS Where the Heart Is

It was a very, very long time in the making but we found a new home to love. It was such an emotional yet rational decision. We knew we were outgrowing our beloved Ferndale home and wanted the best schools possible there were also in our same neighborhood. However, we dearly love(ed) our Ferndale home. It is where we brought home all of our babies. It was the first home we purchased as a married couple. It was home for almost 10 years.

After 7 offers on other homes we fell in love with (after a bit of persuasion ;-)) our new home. Now that we are here we LOVE it. The kids have settled in wonderfully and just today Sophia told me she doesn't remember the old bathroom she used to use. I was sad for a bit and then I realized that this must mean we made a good choice. She loves the new home so much that she isn't longing for what we left behind. So far we LOVE the school and the neighborhood. We can look out our back windows and see a beautiful farm with a watermelon patch and deer in the evenings.

It was a very bittersweet move but we are so very happy we took the leap!
