Ozark has come to an end

We came back from Galveston on a Sunday. That evening a couple looked at our home. On Tuesday we received their very nice offer for our home. By Thursday a deal had been agreed upon. And Friday the option period began meaning it will be a done deal in one week. Now, the inspection is complete and we wait for this Friday to come. Once the option period is over, I don't think they can back out. Well, I don't see them doing so. She came by to measure for rugs and window treatments...already getting fabrics. WOW. We will close Aug. 18, my second day back to work.

I can't help but reminisce for a moment about our home. Chris and I were so lucky and blessed to have built this home together while planning our wedding. Just after our wedding, we were able to move in. It is the home that he carried me over the threshold and we looked forward to many good years here. Good years here is exactly what we have had. We had lots of parties with our close family and friends. Lots of memories can be made in 6 short years. I will never forget getting our home ready to welcome our first born. We were so excited to welcome our son. Shortly after, we were so blessed to welcome home our daughter. The 4 of us have had lots of laughs, giggles, tears, scrapes, bumps, hugs and kisses shared in this home. Finally we completed our family here by welcoming our second daughter to the family. She will not know of this home nor the good times we've had here. I do know she will hear lots of stories and see lots of pictures (on the computer) of the times we've had.

As one chapter closes, we new one must begin. Chris and I are thankful for this home and all of our family and friends that have shared a moment here with us. Now, we must build a new home for us to raise our 3 sweet children and welcome even more friends and family. We are looking forward to our new home and community to raise our children. I tear up as I think of leaving, but can't help but smile knowing what is yet to come.
