Delaney Road Settlement Day

The day has arrived and the first home we owned has officially sold and settled and is now home to someone else. We have had so many happy memories here and loved our home and our neighbours and being where we were. I didn't even want to move because I loved the where of our house so much... which is why the new house was perfect of course! 700m up the hill.

The house is the cleanest it's ever been, everything is shiny and ready for the new owners and we finally took the very last of our belongings up the hill... yesterday haha. One last shelving unit that had been in the garage, sticking out of the back of Doug's ute.

So goodbye Delaney Road! Farewell to our incredible neighbours who we love so much who are thankfully still just down the road... and goodbye to the place where we had so many wonderful memories... and hello to the new house - for some wonderful new ones!

Enough keys for you? hahah. Reminded me of the last scene in Friends where everyone put their keys on the bench.

And just because I am who I am... there's two pages of notes for the new owners. Oops.

family new years resolutions

so maybe this year, our goals may be a little lower than normal... but nonetheless we have goals as a family. 

we have learned in this past year how quickly life as you know it can change. how one day your loved one can be within reach and the next have departed this life for the eternities. we know the importance of making the most of every minute with our family. we know the sadness of a final goodbye. 

this year our goal will be strengthening our family. holding our loved ones tight and growing together in life and in the gospel. to ensure, that our family can be eternal. because we know firsthand, there is nothing more important than the promise of eternity with those we love and those we have lost.
