We moved out of our first house this weekend. We were newlyweds when we bought it. We didn’t know anything about home ownership or life. We spent countless hours peeling wallpaper and gallons of elbow grease making it our own. I graduated college here. We grieved the loss of our babies between these walls. We met Cam on the front porch and brought our miracle babies to this place. We opened our doors to family and friends and we’ve rejoiced over good news and mourned heart-breaking news around our kitchen table. We’ve laughed and cried and messed up and fessed up. A decade of memories were made within these walls. And while there have been moments I’ve choked back tears as I’ve remembered all we built here (with grace upon grace upon grace of course) but then I remember four walls don’t make a home for me- he does. So here’s to our next adventure and a million more memories.

Find parents who spend a year looking for their dream house, another year renovating it and then give it to you indefinitely without ever having spent a day in it. 😭😭😭 #thankful #blessed and every other cheesy hashtag that exists. And here’s to hoping my kids don’t wreck it before we give it back 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Will somebody remind me the next time we decide to list our house on a whim while we are on an extended vacation that 1. It’s a good idea to have a house to move into when yours sells and 2. That moving with twin toddlers while homeschooling third grade into my parents not-quite-completed-under-construction home is a tad bit stressful 🤪🤪 #sendallthewine (big shout out to my mom who flew into help and has pretty much been painting for the last 72 hours straight #shesasaint )

“I don’t want to get to the end of my life and find that I just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width as well.” (Diane Ackerman) This right here. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about legacy, and what we leave behind. I so hope this is one of the things my kids learn from me. Make your moments count. Work hard. Play hard. Love hard. Live each day to its best. No matter where you are- be all there. Don’t just exist- Live, really live. #adventureintheeveryday

He’s a big fan of planes. I’m a big fan of his. #theaceofchase

I’ve been asked a couple times what it feels to grow up being the only girl, if I missed out in anyway because I didn’t have a sister. My answer: Not possible. I had the best days these guys. They are the only two that fully speak my language and I didn’t have to share my clothes. Well mostly, there were a few exceptions 😉 Plus I have best friends who feel like sisters and the most incredible sister-in-laws. But these two- all the heart eyes because inside and out they are so much better than me and I wouldn’t trade them for anything- not even a sister.
