Our Lives On Dunailie Drive - Leaving The House That Was Our Home

 The early days of Dunailie... 

when Halle fit in a suitcase and we lived 

in the downstairs portion of the house...

 Feels so long ago, sometimes. 

Today is bittersweet as we reflect on all the memories 

we made in the house that became our home. 

We leave Dunailie Drive today but 

these memories travel with us 

as we move on

to the next chapter of our lives...

When I moved in with Josh, our parents had some concerns 

about our not-married-yet relationship status. 

They still supported us-

even when we added a new puppy to our not-yet-married family. 

We got married. 

Halle arrived first, though. 

A tiny puppy sits here, years ago, on Dunailie Drive...

My, how far we have come since the day this photo was taken!

My best and most favorite memories happened here in this house. This is one of them...

From this little Craigslist puppy, who chewed EVERYTHING...

To THIS still-not-fully-grown dog 
that we finally trained to respect our things. :)

Josh and I will move to a new house. 

More memories will be made there. 

Those made here, on Dunailie Drive, 

are packed in my heart 

to take with me 

to every house

that our love 

makes HOME.
