Goodbye To Our First Nest....

We moved from our first home in December 2010. It was our first home since 2003 and it has so much fond memories and had held and marked many milestones in our lives.
It was our first home when we first got married. It was a blessing as we didn't have much cash to buy a house back then in 2003. The sellers were an elderly couple who was willing to see the house with $0 COV. So we just had to pay for the house using our humble CPF savings.

It was the home our first baby was born followed by the younger girls. This home has seen all the night feeds and early hour wakings. From newborn infants to walking toddlers and to energectic little kids. The happy times, the frustrations, the joys, the fights, tears and laughter. The sound of 2 dogs which later became one and later also faded as the number of kids in the home grew. The sound of happy and angry feet. The 'boo boos' made from falls on the hard marble floor. Much of our eldest chid's first 5 years were in that home.

Will always remember the smell and the quirky neighbours which I had found so annoying due to their over friendlyness. But now its something I actually miss ironically as the new place is much quieter and the neighbours keep much to themselves.

An old chapter has closed. A sweet one that will always hold a fond place in my heart. A blessed 7 years.

And a new one has begun....
May our new home be a blessing to us and to our loved ones as it continues to walk with us through our journey....Thank you Lord for blessing us with this new home.

Love the marble flooring in your old place. And the little floor tiles in the bathroom. Timeless. Blessings as you move to your new home.
