As our move date gets closer and our house grows emptier I'm starting to feel a little sad to leave this place that has been our home for the past few years. We are ecstatic to move on to our dream of owning our own home and having property, but there are so many memories we have made here that I want to hold on to.
As a way of holding on to those memories and leaving a little history with the house, I decided to write a few of these memories on the back of the light switch covers. Who knows if anyone will come across these memories or feel the importance of them that I do, but perhaps they will. Perhaps they too will make memories in this home worth sharing.
In the entry:
This is the place where we became a family:
April 2009-July 2013
In the living room:
This is the place our children took their first steps,
many Christmas presents were opened, and where
we enjoyed the company of our friends and family.
In the kitchen:
This is the place we unpacked our wedding gifts,
enjoyed many meals together,
and celebrated many birthdays.
In the laundry room:
This is the place where our children had their play house,
many books were read, pretend meals were made
on tiny stoves, and many of their memories will be.
The bathroom:
This is the place many boo-boos were kissed
and bubble-covered babies splashed in the tub.
The children's room:
This is the place where babies were rocked
to sleep to the tune 'You Are My Sunshine,'
tiny dreams were dreamed,
and many castles were built.
Master bedroom:
This is the place where I spent much time
during the early days of my pregnancies,
where little ones found refuge after bad dreams,
and where many pillow fights occurred.
Disclaimer: My husband had no part in this. He would feel it was defacing property and over sharing :) Good thing he doesn't read my blog!
