Farewell

Tomorrow, we say good bye to our house in Key West. The pink house with the lovely morning light. Expected, but somehow shocking that our time within these walls is done. The house that we brought our daughter home to. The home that watched her grow within her first year. A refuge. A harbor.

Today Jared and I cleaned the house from top to bottom in preparation for our move. As I wiped down tiny hand prints from glass doors and as the sweet baby smell of her room was replaced with the scent of cleaning fluid, I couldn't help but feel sad. More sad than the last move, or even the one before that.

Our story here was richer. More beautifully written than ever before. And closing this chapter to begin another is bittersweet.

To our home with the pink exterior and lovely light- we love you. Thank you for being a part of our story.
To our new home in California- you have big shoes to fill. I know you're up to the challenge and I'm sure you won't disappoint.
