One last box to pack...

As I clean and prepare the condo to be rented by someone else, I felt a twinge of sadness.  Even though I will not miss the condo, leaving it was a little bit hard.  For the past year, it has been our home and change is always hard.

I have always wanted to live by a lake.  To be able to look out my front window at the water.  To watch the sun setting over the mountains and reflecting into the water.  Living on Hunter's Glen lake fulfilled this desire.  I will miss the views, the sunsets, the water.

And, as I pack our last few items and say goodbye.  The boys entertain themselves.

Playing "How to Train Your Dragon"
Playing "Army Men"


Playing "Spiderman"



That twinge of sadness disappears as I drive to our new home in Thornton.  I love our new home.  I love living in a house and being surrounded by our things.  I love watching Bridger running in the back yard.  I love putting the boys to bed in their own beds.  I love the basement that Bryan calls his "man cave" and my big kitchen. 

We are so blessed to have such a wonderful place to live.  Today I am thankful.

  1. Hi Kris,

    This post is so touching, and I totally relate. We moved 1 1/2 yrs ago, and it was hard to leave a place where we'd watched out children grow and experienced so many memories. But your new home sounds wonderful!

    Your kiddos are adorable! I'm in awe of you - 4 boys! We are maxed out at 2. :)

    Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving such a sweet comment. I appreciate it!

    Praying you have a blessed week,
    Kerry
