Goodbye, Lake House

My in-laws sold the Lake House this week. It has been surprisingly hard for me to say goodbye to it. I know life has to change...just like Cedric can't stay a cute little newborn. So it's okay. My mother-in-law brought me some things from the house... at least I have a few keepsakes: a little Christmas tree from our bedroom, a plant and jar of soap and a bouey from our bathroom, and a sweet quilt.

The Lake House has a lot of memories for me:
Luke proposed to me
Our honeymoon
My first Christmas with Luke's family
The first time I met Luke's Grandma Ellgren
And lots of fun times boating, fishing, and just having fun

It was a great getaway! I'm thankful that we aren't cramped in a little apartment now...so the need to escape doesn't come as often. It was a special place-something better than I deserved. And I must say I'm glad it is just a place...we haven't sold the memories or the people we love!
