I was fast forwarding a lot, thinking about when David and I are old, and our kids will take their babies to Michigan to see the house that grandma and grandpa got married in. What will the house look like? Will the two tall trees we got married under still be there? When we bought this property, there was a very old and run down home that we tore down to build this new home. An elderly woman was living here all by herself. It made me feel sad to tear down a home that housed a lifetime of memories. That will happen to this home one day too.
For now I will live in the here and now and soak up the gifts I'm given with each passing moment. The sound of my baby's breath. The way my husband looks at us. The smell of my puppy dog. The green surrounding this home.

I grew up in Wisconsin, left when I was 23 to be with a guy I fell in love with... almost married for 3 now and have a little dude, 7 months. My parents bought my mum's grandparents house when they got married (a cape cod right across from Lake Michigan!) I love that house and miss the views of the lake. Hopefully, we'll be moving north soon :) I miss the sunrises and sailboats. xxoo
