One year. It's been one whole year since we began the journey of making a house our home. We had no idea that beginning the moving in process on April 28, 2014 that our lives would change in ways we never imagined. I was so excited on that day. I had no idea what these four walls had in store for us. I couldn't have dreamed it even if I tried.
Five days after we began the moving in process, our sweet Hersh would pass away. The heartache, that is very much still here today, was something that we knew would happen soon. However, we were hoping she'd make it to the house first. That was our goal, get Hersh to the new house. God had a much better plan in mind. This way, our home would never be associated with that very traumatic morning, but only of her running around like crazy sniffing every new corner.
We have had laughs, tears, growing pains, get togethers, and everything in between in this house.. Friends and family have barred their soul on our couch, laughed in our kitchen, melted the hot dog bun wrappers on the grill. We've cooked (and burned) so many meals, and learned to fix things we accidentally broke. We have grown leaps and bounds. We have weathered the storms, literally and figuratively. We created a life in this house. TMI? Sorry. We've told most of those same friends and family in this house that we were expecting, as well as revealing the gender. No one knocks at our house.. Everyone just walks in. Well those that know Lila do at least. Otherwise they may not get a pleasant greeting. Most friends have certain spots they always sit in.
In just one year, we've experienced so much life and love in this house. We made the house at 1026 a home. While nothing will replace the first year in your first home, I have a feeling this next year will be full of some pretty great times.
