When One Door Closes: A Life Update

Today we sold our family home. šŸ Ā  The picture above is from today. The one below is the day we bought it.Ā 
Ā A lot has changed between these two photos, but let me tell you a story about God’s faithfulness:
Ā 
We found this home on Craigslist. We fell in love with it before we even went inside. We called and made an offer pretty much right away. We were the THIRD backup offer. Our realtor showed us other houses, convinced we wouldn’t get it. We knew this was meant to be our home and we chose to trust God. We anointed the house with oil and prayed over it. One by one, the previous contracts fell through. The Lord gave us this house, and boy did He sure make it our home.
Ā 
The girl in that day 1 picture was struggling. I knew I was born to be a mama, but we were having major fertility issues. For over a year, I sat In the empty ā€œnurseryā€ and mourned. I prayed and poured out my heart to God once again for the desires of my heart. Looking at this picture from today fills me with so much emotion. Not only did he give us one, but two precious little loves. We brought them home here. We spent many sleepless nights here. We watched them crawl and take their first steps here. We ran up and down the ridge. We marked those walls with love. Every scratch on the floor or ding in the paint was evidence that we did life in this house.
Ā 
Addie and I were both very emotional leaving this morning. It was a bittersweet goodbye for sure. But I take so much comfort in carrying the memories with us forever. Thank you for letting us love you for the last 6.5 years, house.
Ā 
We are so excited for what is next and the special family time that we will have. Stay tuned! We have tons to share!

These two girls are my daily reminder that even on These two girls are my daily reminder that even on the hard days, God is so good to me. How beautiful that we caught a rainbow 🌈 in our fountain pointing to a sign that says just that on our bike ride last night?! I thought I may never have kids. Now I have these two and they are my world šŸŒŽ (even though they make me a little cray some days šŸ˜–šŸ„°). Love being a girl mom šŸ’•

Happy birthday to my best friend, our Claudia! We Happy birthday to my best friend, our Claudia! We love you so much. When I look back over the last few years, I’m so freaking proud of the growth I see in you. You’ve overcome more than anyone your age should ever have had to and I know Dillon is so proud of you. Here’s to a new year filled with all of the good things that you deserve. Thanks for all of the girls nights, awkward convos, deep chats, play dates, dr visits and so much more. You’re a gem šŸ’Ž ! Can’t wait to do life with you for another trip around the sun. Love you so much šŸ¤
We said ā€œsee you laterā€ to some very sweet fri We said ā€œsee you laterā€ to some very sweet friends tonight. We have been blessed to do life with Andrew & Morgan for the last 5 or so years-Andrew even longer. Morgan was even in the delivery room for my rainbow 🌈 baby’s birth (as a student nurse). 🄹 I’m so proud of them for boldly stepping out in faith to do what God has put on their lives. We may be apart in body, but we will be together in spirit. Love you, Browder fam! šŸ¤
