Leaving This House...

Leaving this house is going to be so hard...


This little place that we have called home for 7 years. 
Where we ripped up carpet and painted walls.
Where he got down on one knee and asked me to share my life with him.
Where we discovered that our "wait 5 years to have kids" plan was scrapped, thank goodness. :)
Where we brought home our first sweet son, into a nursery that had been poured into and prayed over. 
Where we brought home his little brother and our world got more chaotic and more beautiful.
Where we found out there would be five of us.
Where we almost lost that little one.
Where we prayed and pleaded for our baby girl to stay with us.
Where she tried to make an early appearance in the snow.
Where we went back and forth to the hospital, and praised God for family who took our boys for a week at a time.
Where we have lived "happily ever after" after all this time.
It will not be easy to leave. So many firsts here.

So Lord, could you pick a little place for us, on a sweet little street in Denver? With enough space for all our favorite things. And a yard to run around in. And walls we can paint and fill with pictures and memories. 

Our little adventure house.

(Oh, make it cute, Lord.)
