When is it ever not sad to move from your first home? The place that you and your husband grew closer together and began a life together? Where you learned to clean, cook, do laundry, and become a wife? Tyler and I were so lucky when we found this perfect little house tucked away in Springville. It had a few projects that we worked on together, with my awesome dad's help. Before we moved in we had to fix an unfinished wall and door way, we textured all the walls and ceilings, then painted the entire thing. When we began renting it from the next door neighbor in July 2013 we had the option to buy the house in 12 months for a screaming deal. We decided that we would live there for the year and see how it works for us. In that year I fell in love with it! It is such a cute tiny house. It has two bedrooms with a small "half room" and one bathroom. The kitchen is small and sometimes gives me a country feel. The front wall of the house slants forward quite a bit and the ceiling lines aren't quite straight, but honestly, I love it! The house sits in a narrow piece of land that is just under one acre, with animal rights. The property is quit the junk pile with two sheds and piles of car parts/construction parts of the owner plus weeds galore! However, I've had a vision of this place being the prettiest and most comfortable place to live.
I would buy this little house in a blink of an eye. It's been a huge question whether to buy it or not, Ty and I have gone back and forth about buying it. But, it's obviously not meant to be, because it hasn't worked out in a way for us to buy the house. I have been torn! But I know we will have bigger opportunities in the future. And like Tyler keeps telling me, "it's not the end of the world" haha.
So as we have been packing all of our stuff into boxes, moving them into a storage unit, and moving myself into my parents house, a flash flood of memories from this home are coming back to me! And just like that, we are moved out of the little white house.
Goodbye, little house.
