They say home is where the heart is and, right now, my heart beats in the walls of this space where I cradle eight years of memories in a tender fold of my heart.

I would love to go back in time and talk to my 2007 husband as we decided to start a family. 

Thank you for sharing all of who you are with our small boys, because who you are is wonderful.

To again quote the phenomenon that is Galit Breen #ShareWhatMatters.

I'm talking about the rich glow within the lives of those often gracing the edges of a crowd.

Last night, when our eyes met across the room, you remind me that the beauty is worth more than all of the messes.

I would do that for you. I would stand in the snow for you. I would humble myself in front of strangers if it meant we could have food on the table.

Your efforts to serve and love and keep serving are not going unnoticed. I see you. I see you. I see you.

In a few short months we went from living in a cute, three-bedroom cottage, in a super trendy, walkable, hip, make-your-friends-jealous kind of neighborhood to a 1970’s themed two-bedroom, with green linoleum and one bathroom.
