Keep
Are you so tired of me writing about house tours? I know. I think I would be if I were you, too. But, it’s what’s been going on in our life recently, so I am inclined to write about it here. We toured two big, beautiful historic homes in one day, with each one presenting their own unique qualities that make them great. One was clearly so much better for our family than the other. It’s actually the one we’ve been considering for almost a year now and we’ve kept pretty quiet about it online. This is probably the third or fourth time we’ve looked at it, but this time it was just us alone in the house, and the house was completely empty, which was a first. It felt different walking through the huge rooms and big archways with nothing in it and seeing all the spaces with fresh eyes, imagining what we would change and what we would keep the same and seeing how the kids would run through the halls and how are family would spend Christmases there. AND IT HAS A POOL! Did I mention that? But at the same time, the thought of leaving our home now is hard for either of us to fathom, even though this other house would be so much bigger and is on a bigger lot AND IT HAS A POOL DON’T FORGET. I wish I could show you pictures and discuss this with you in more detail because it always helps to bounce ideas off other people (at least in our case, it always helps us), but we have to keep this one close to our chests for now. Hoping to be able to share more soon!

We were supposed to leave for the beach today, but yesterday both our middle son AND PJ got sick, so now one is home from school in bed and the other is in our room in bed. And it’s raining. And we’re not leaving until tomorrow. Suddenly this trip is not off to a good start. I hope the weather clears up and my boys get better, because there’s nothing worse than being sick while it rains at the beach.
What’s your Keep & Delete for today?
It sounds so exciting but I just can’t in-vision you moving! Your home now has been my type of dream home for years! And I am on the outside looking in with no memories so I can’t imagine what you are all feeling. (For some reason “Should I stay or should I go now” just popped in my brain and now I have that jingle rolling around haha)
Hugs to PJ and Riah, sending healthy and positive vibes that this bug passes quickly. Everyone needs to be healthy for PJ’s soon to be 40th! 💜
My keep today is our mutual friend Colleen💜 Through a couple of comments on one of your posts a couple weeks ago, we bonded over book reads, and now message each other title swaps and it has been so fun! As I type this I am anxiously waiting for her to tell me what order I should read this next author she told me about! 😂
Thanks for this platform, sharing your lives, and now sharing your friends with me!
Much love always! 💜
Did someone say that house has a POOL????????????????? Getting to share all these life journeys with your family is just about the coolest thing ever. I am so sorry the PJ and Riah are sick... sending them all kinds of healing wishes and love and vibes. I'm excited about the new house, but being a total sentimentalist, I understand how hard it will be to go, of you do. I know you will ultimately do the best thing for the family, but those kinds of decisions can be killer. I'll be thinking about you during this process...Love ya.
