I waited for a reason.
I wanted to be sure that I could tell you this.
It is SOLD and we are going home.
I have not yet been able to fully come to terms with what this means or let it sink in.
I am have been really down the last few days, a lot of it is financial stress but some of it is coming to terms with the fact that this is it....
This is the home I almost died in.
This is the home that I learned I was pregnant.
This is the home we brought her back to live in.
This is the home that she took her first steps in.
This is the home where she called me Mommy for the first time.
This is the home I came back to life in.
But my heart tells me that this isn't home.
Our home is anywhere we go together.
The place we are living in is just that.
A place.
Where promises were made and lives were changed forever.
March 15th will be a difficult day; But March 15th will also be the first day of the rest of our lives.
I know my life has had some serious ups and downs in the last year; but nothing could have prepared me for today.
Today we made some new friends.
One of my closest friends teaches at a high school, and has been sharing the blog with her students.
Today we met.
Today they made us feel welcome and special and loved.
These are beautiful girls, each and every one of them with different stories to share; who wanted nothing more than to sit and talk and watch Apple destroy there classroom.
I struck me today on the way home from this; that I wish at 15 or 16 someone would have pulled me aside and told me that at 32 I would feel just as lost some days as I did then.
I am so glad to have had the opportunity to talk to them today.
It is not a day I will ever forget.
I won't forget the message that my friend left for me when I got home either.
Her words were some of the kindest that I have ever heard; and today for the first time in a really long time I not only listened to the words that she said but I felt inside of me without doubt that they were true.
These are some of our new friends; with my best girl.
I know you are probably reading this in your last class of the year today with that amazing teacher of yours.....
So from the bottom of our hearts;
Thank you.
