A LOVE LETTER TO THE NEW OWNER OF THEIR HOME โค๏ธ
Today we hand over the keys to a place we have called home for 16 years.
These 10 acres have been the backdrop to our family life. Holidays with 40 people, family dinners, our daughters riding horses, our daughterโs wedding, grandkids, dogs, sledding, firepit nights, kitchen dance parties and more laughter than we could ever count.
This home has held love, chaos, loss, grief, forgiveness, new family members and seasons that stretched us. It was a place where people felt safe enough to be themselves.
It also gave us plenty of memories to laugh about. ๐ Royal catching a baby deer, Graffiti getting stuck in the fence, family races ending in tumbles, trampoline jumping we paid for the next day, and 3 AM nights when we forgot we werenโt 25 anymore.
But the greatest gift was in the ordinary moments.
The dinners. The conversations. Watching our girls grow. Hearing laughter from another room. The sunrise outside our bedroom door and sunsets from our deck.
Those sunrises reminded us that joy can come after pain. Those sunsets reminded us that this too shall pass.
God taught us here to be present, to listen, to include and to show up.
SEE IT. SEE THEM. HEAR THEM.
As we begin our next chapter, we are choosing less upkeep and more time to live, love, travel, gather and make memories.
Our prayer is that this place becomes a refuge for you. Walk the pastures. Dance in the kitchen. Gather around the fire. Watch the sunsets. Fill this place with memories of your own.
We may be leaving this home, but we arenโt leaving what it gave us.
The laughter. The lessons. The love. The tears. The horses. The dogs. The sunrises and sunsets.
All of it comes with us. โค๏ธ
Take good care of this place.
Because this isnโt just a house on 10 acres.
Itโs a place where life happens.
We are so grateful God allowed us to call it home for 16 years, and so grateful you get to call it home next.
