Make it Monday (kinda)

This is something I made a while back...when I was a "single mama" waiting for our home in Washington to sell. Once I knew we had a serious buyer I decided to make them a sign for the front door. I had made one for myself and I love it dearly! I knew that the buyers liked my decor style (they shared that with me) so i had a basic idea of colors and design. I decoupaged scrap book paper on this frame, added some ribbon and "HOME SWEET HOME" words and hung it on the door for them. I hope they LOVE this view as much as I did! My babies played in this backyard, we grew food here, deer snuck in and ate that food, dogs visited here, we had baby showers and birthday parties back here. WE LIVED HERE!

When we decided to move it was a tough decision to leave this home. We brought a 6 year old here then followed by 2 newborn sisters. WE LIVED HERE! We hosted birthday clubs (there I said it..wink wink), New Years Eve sing-a-thons, sleepovers with giggling girls, and Wilson date night trades. We held Romeo's old man 30th b-day surprise party, I helped care for and love many friends children here, kissed my girls' booboo's, laughed at their silly antics, and cried over life's unfair twists here. WE LIVED HERE!

It was this home that held the warmth of a loving family and amazing friends...it was with those feelings that we were ok putting that large white sign in the front lawn. It didn't signify loss, hurt, or anger for the Rachi family. It represented change, family, hope, and trust it God! We felt like it was time to move on and allow another family to feel the love in that home. We trusted that God would provide for us as we were humbly leaning on Him for everything. HE DID! We knew HE would!

We are one of the LUCKY few families that were able to sell our home without incident in this market...for this we are grateful! TRUST!
