our {home}

i am thankful for our home. we were so lucky to be able to buy our first house last may and have turned it into our home. i am so grateful we were able to buy it!! we had rented before, which was great while it lasted, but we finally feel like this is ours. it's where our little boy was born
where kennedy started kindergarten
where we got our first dog
where we have to fix our own malfunctions that happen instead of just call the landlord :)
{ryan takes pride in that one}
where i get to decorate and feel like i'm actually decorating for us instead of the next tenants
where we are so excited to come home to at the end of the day
there's just something about owning your own house.

i am also very thankful for the heat in our house.
last night we went to keys on main with a bunch of people, so so fun, and ry and i decided to leave early.
it was so cold outside. all i could think about was getting home to my nice, warm, cozy house.
it made my heart so sad for all the homeless people who had to sleep outside in that freezing weather.
it definitely made me so grateful to have simple things, like heat.
