5 years ago today, we moved into our first home. Our decision to purchase a home instead of continuing to rent or live in an apartment has been one of the best decisions we have ever made. Almost every night I thank God for the walls that protect us from the wind, rain, snow, and heat; the windows that let light in; the roof that gives us constant shelter; and the carpet that cushions our toes.
It has seen sadness (the death of my father) and joy (the home-coming of a new puppy, the announcement of expecting a baby). It has received friends and family, a mouse, and too many spiders to count. It has concealed arguments that are long forgotten, tender days of forgiveness, and late nights of study. I'm not sure how long God has planned for us to live in this house but given the journey that we have enjoyed thus far, I know that we're in the right hands.
Happy Anniversary little home!
