yesterday i talked about carrying us to spring.
today i feel like she arrived.
with her soft wind and warm breeze.
her blue skies painted with white clouds.
she walked with us today as we ran and played outside.
between the raindrops.
between that breeze.
everywhere we looked. everywhere we turned there were hints of spring.
tucked beneath a small pile of soil.
flying under the wing of a bird.
landing in empty trees waiting her arrival.
spring arrived today in our home
her timing couldn't have been better
she brought us adventure. a new journey.
a path that we will walk as a family. together.
yesterday we unofficially sold our house. we have not found another home yet and negotiated to stay in this one until April 28th. Jon's nervous. He asks why I'm not freaking out. I'm calm. Ready. But I can't think about leaving this home right now. It doesn't seem right. I'm not ready to part. I have 59 days. And I'm going to enjoy each and every single one.
Packing, boxes, chaos and all!

ReplyDeleteit is kinda scary and exciting ;) thanks!
Deletesuch sweet pictures. spring arrived for us today too!
ReplyDeleteand congrats on the sale of your home! we are in the same boat right now, huh? we are suppose to close on our house in about 2 weeks and we are waiting to hear back from the house we put an offer in, until then we will be moving in with my dad-eek! (fortunately, he has space and is a pretty rad guy to live with).
thanks abra! happy spring ;)
Deletei thought you had your house on the market or were putting it on. that is so exciting. we are in the same boat. we have an offer on a house but since it's a short sale it could take months. we close on march 28th and are actually renting our own home for a month then... not sure! we can't live with my parents because they have cats and jon is allergic and we have the dog. i figure just go with the flow and have fun with this adventure. years down the road we'll laugh ;) i'll be thinking of you. when are you due???
Great news about your home, congratulations! I adore your little girls outfit, she is so pretty like her mama.
ReplyDeleteyou are SO sweet! thank you.
Deletexoxo
Beautiful pictures! I love her pretty little eyes. I'm so excited for spring to show up here within the next month or two, hopefully. I can't even imagine the feelings that would come with selling and moving out of your home, good luck with all of it though!
ReplyDeleteit has been pretty emotional. mostly because we have been in our home for 8 years and have created SO many memories. i get teary eyed thinking of it...and i'm not even a crier ;)
DeleteGreat photos! Her raincoat is darling. Congrats on the sale of your home and goodluck with packing!

ReplyDeletei know!! i keep counting it down. today is 56 days. yikes ;)
DeleteOh love it!! So exciting! We are listing our house soon-ish I hope!
ReplyDeleteSteph
are you?? it was actually an okay process. hardest was having all the showings and open houses with three kids and a dog. it made me the "crazy" mom because i was always on edge and paranoid about keeping it clean. i'm making it sounds horrible, but it wasn't too bad ;)
DeleteWhat a cutie! Love her hat! I need to get P a rain coat.
ReplyDeletethanks! i found this at Sam's Club!!
DeleteOh my...what a cutie pie!!
ReplyDeleteLove your photography:)
thank you ;) i don't really know what i'm doing... haha.. but i do shoot in manual mode.
DeleteThanks for the comment love! This jacket is super cute! So is your little one. :)
ReplyDeleteah, thanks!
DeleteDamn girl, she is like your doppelgänger in that second photo! Adorable :)
ReplyDeletehaha!! i just don't see it! sometimes i'll look at her and think, whoa it's me, but other times i don't know who she looks like.
DeleteOH my goodness - big ch-ch-changes coming your way now eh?! Congrats on the house 'sell' then... and my gosh, Jess is really turning into a mini-you. Love that cheerful jacket!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the packing mama.

thanks Mel! packing...i haven't even thought about that part yet. i still have 56 days. i think it will hit me when we have the inspection and appraisal done because then it truly is official. then i'll probably freak out ;)
