blooming

this weekend was a whirlwind of events. 

from showings to looking at new homes 

to an open house that will hopefully bring us good news in the near future

..fingers crossed, prayers said.  

it just went too fast and the time change didn't help a bit. 

as we look forward to moving to a new house

 (i know it's out there, trying to be patient!)

and starting a new phase of our lives, 

b and i can't help but feel a bit of sadness.

the kind that makes your heart feel a little heavy. 

after all... 

this was our first house together. 

something we couldn't wait to have after years of living in apartments.

we put a lot of sweat and tears into fixing this place up and making it our home and i am so proud of us and all that we did...but making this our home isn't the only memory we will have of this house..

this is where plum.tree.studio (both blog and shop) started...

 where we welcomed Arden into our family...

where we said goodbye to Noah...

where our journey started to become parents...

and where we had our first year with Oliver.  

this is also where i fell in love with Spring... 

and

this plum tree is what sealed the deal.

 i will miss it's beautiful blooms.
