Farewell Plumbark Bend...

This will be our last night at 1624 Plumbark Bend...and yep, you can count on me to be sentimental about it. They say a house is only a shell, it's the people inside that make it a home, and while that's true, I will still miss this house dearly. I'll never forget the day we moved in, one day after Chris' college graduation in May 2005. We were so proud to have bought our first house and were so excited to start a family in our new home. Our precious baby boy was conceived in this house (sorry if that"s too much info for some of you :) ) I saw the bright pink lines of the pregnancy test in our bathroom, and we brought our precious bundle home to this house 9 months later. We have priceless memories that we will keep with us forever of watching Andy and Jack playing together in the backyard and even seeing Jack jump the privacy fence a couple of times! We have experienced so much joy in this house and watched the first 14 months of Ayden's life here...first smiles, first words, first steps. I am so grateful for the continual blessings God has given us in our lives and am so excited to see what the future holds for us no matter where we may end up. So farewell, Plumbark Bend, thanks for the memories, the warmth, and the happiness. We are moving on and pursuing more dreams, but we will always remember our first home.
