As I sit here in the kitchen surrounded by piles, boxes and just down right clutter and dirt. I have a bittersweet feeling of leaving this farm. We have spent our last 4 years here. This is the only home the kids have known. This farm, although not ours, has become a huge part of our lives that we will never forget.
We put a lot of hard work and sweat into remodeling before and while we lived here. Ellaree and Lorelai learned how to crawl and walk here. Daddy milked cows that Ellaree will forever remember along with helping change milk truck tires and going to pick up milk at our neighbor Orland's farm. There are so many memories etched in these walls since we have moved here that it will be a bittersweet goodbye but a great adventure just up the road.
I know that right now the kids {Ellaree} is very excited about moving into her new house and getting her own room. But I do think she will miss her time with Sissy in their bedroom with their final giggles before closing their eyes at night. Or their good morning chitter chatters before coming and getting me out of bed. Those times of hearing them are etched in my heart and I hope I don't forget it for a very long time.
God has opened the door to so many wonderful opportunities in the last 5 years we have been together. We are so very blessed to know a father and savior that loves us so much that he would die on the cross for us and give us blessings after blessings...just to show us he loves us and his provisions have been unmistakeably huge, we are so thankful.
