A fresh new start.......
A new place to blossom and grow.......
A new place to nest.......
A new beginning........
New year, new life. That is our motto. I won't get into all of the details but we are moving. After the past few months events we have been presented with a wonderful offer. We are moving back home, 2 hours north, to live amongst our family and friends. Where we grew up. We are just thrilled and can hardly stand the excitement. We are buying my mother in law's home, we are so thankful for this opportunity. This house is special to us, 25 years ago this month Mark and I started dating, we spent many days and evenings making wonderful memories there. A house full of love. So much so that Mark proposed to me in front of our families there. A place that we announced we were expecting our first child (Dayton) a place that we took our prom pictures, the place where we last saw Mark's father alive. So many memories have been made there. We are so blessed to be keeping this special place in the family.
I have so many things to pack, organize, clean, paint etc....my head is just spinning, but I am just filled to the brim with joy, we all are. I will share details later but I wanted to fill you all in on the new changes coming to our lives. Please pray for an easy transition!!!

So excited and happy for you and your family! Can't wait to see your decorating touches on your new home. Blessings, Wendy
Oh congratulations Leslie!!!! I am sure you must be so excited!!! I am so happy for you:)
When my in-laws decided to retire to my father-in-laws home town we bought the home my husband grew up in. Seven years later, there is still some old amongst the new. But there is still that special feeling when explaining the history of our home to a new friend. My children attend the schools their daddy grew up in. And his 30th class reunion and homecoming game had special meaning to me also. Enjoy passing the love and memories on to your children! Hang in there, depending on the day of the week, well, you know :)
