11th Cavalry:

It is hard to believe that exactly one week from today, I will be saying goodbye to the place we called home for two years. This home will forever hold a very special place in my heart! This was the first home that Steven and I shared as husband and wife, this was my first home as a Navy wife, and this was our first home as a family of 3! A lot of firsts for my family happened on 11th Cavalry, and I will forever be grateful for them all! 

So my friend Kate, who is also moving the same time as us shared a blog of their home, and I found it to be an absolutely perfect thing to do as well, and something to do for every home we have as we move around the country! You can also visit Kate over at daffoldilshope.blogspot.com, you won't be disappointed that you did! ;) Thanks Kate for the inspiration on this post! :) 

It will be very bittersweet to leave this house, as it holds so many precious memories for my family, but I cannot wait for this next chapter in our lives and to be so much closer to our family! This blog post is probably more for myself and my family, as I know we will continue to re-visit this post and remember all of the wonderful times we shared in our very first home together! But I thought it would be fun to share with you all as well!
