So this is a totally crappy cell phone (not iphone) picture.. but this is my front yard and next to it you can see my grandparents house. I took this because I couldn't believe how all the sudden we had LEAVES! Now each time I look at this "crappy" picture, I get emotional.
I have been so thankful to live next door to two of the best people I will ever know. For the past 3 years my grandparents have been our neighbors. We have had countless meals, cups of tea, bowls of ice cream, Harry Potter marathons, toe nail painting nights, and pee in your pants laughs with them. I can't help but think of all the changes that have happened since we have moved into their house. Brady was still in diapers, so the majority of his life has been there!
The owner of my house recently passed away and his kids are ready to sell the house. We have until the end of the December to move out. I am frantically looking for somewhere close and in the school district to live but all the while thinking how much further than "just next door" it will be.
There have certainly been times where I am pretty sure my grandparents wanted to kill us.. all three of us.. and there were times I maybe, kinda, for just a second felt like they were driving me crazy. But the memories we have made, good and a little crazy, I will miss and I know the boys will too!

Oh, good luck with the move...but lovely memories are forever!
