Moving Home

Well, we are officially moved out of the beach house. Its a little sad to leave behind the house where we first brought home our brand new baby. I usually am very sentimental when it comes to leaving behind houses as I tend to view them as chapters of our lives, but I think I might just be growing out of that. I feel surprisingly stronger then I did in times past, especially considering this house has probably seen the most defining chapter of my life so far - this is the home I was pregnant in, this is the home I became a mother in, this is home where I really learned what it meant to love someone more than you love yourself. But all in all I tend to be feeling more excited about the future than my typical longing for the past. 

I really love the house that we are buying (or should I say attempting to buy - a short sale is never certain I guess). I will be really happy if it ends up working out. It has everything we wanted and most importantly, its in an area where we will feel comfortable sending Heidi to school. Never thought I would be so concerned with something like that, but parenthood is full of surprises!

For now we are chilling with Austin's mama in what is definitely the nicest place I have ever lived in. We have our own wing of the house here with a balcony and a view that is TDF. Life is good. 


One con to living here - We are right next to our favorite bakery in the world - Elizabethan Desserts and our favorite burger joint in the world - Five Guys Burgers! Not great for our plans to get in the best shape of our lives this summer (plans we have every summer). Oh well. 

Here are some pics of our little monkey at the beach this past weekend with her Papa.

Girlie, living next to the bakery of your dreams can only be a sign you two were meant to spend time together. And that view, you're right, I'd burn a sacrificial stack of home and garden magazines to look out my window and see that. Beautiful!
