Description: never thought I’d be so sentimental about leaving this place. Terry and I moved into this first house, nearly seven years ago and added a lot of love and sweat to create our first home together. Our family has grown and so have our space needs so we must say goodbye. This home holds many memories – some joyous and some painful. A fixer upper, Terry and I spent countless hours peeling wallpaper, sanding, and painting – learning about the joys of home ownership first hand. We began our family in this house and brought those tiny little baby boys home to it. Those little babies grew into small boys in this house and yet they will only remember it from scrapbooks and pictures. My mother knew this place – she helped us make the decision to buy it. My mother will not know our new home and that pains me as I can remember her here – spending time with me. I learned to grieve here – to come to terms with losing her. So as we begin our quest for our next home, I felt the need to just stop and reflect on the life we have built here in our first home.

Oooh. I am having all those "what will happen here" thoughts as we buy our first home together after a year of marriage. Its incredibly awesome to see it on the "flip side!"
You've inspired me to do one of my own. Great LO. We went thru a similar thing. We built our house as newlyweds and moved when our boys were 2.5 and 4.5, simply because we outgrew the house. My Dad died 6 months before we sold it. It was a very sad day when we moved out even though we were going to a new house.
This is beautiful. It's really amazing how much "things" play a part in our lives. This is a beautiful simple layout, focusing on the journaling (my favourite kind!) and you will always treasure having this.
