Where the Heart is....

We always say the Home is the where the heart is, yet homes come and go. Since Josh and I have been married we have moved three times to where now this is our 4th home. Our first place in Watertown, WI was definitely a bachelor pad, but we still lived there for 9 months. We loved our first little home all nice and cozy. We were definitely in marital bliss, which is why I did not mind that we had a mini stove and a mini fridge... hehehe.... But still we were there together so that home in Watertown was were our hearts were at for the time being.
     Our second home was in Fort Atkinson, WI. It was only 30 min south west of Watertown. Even though Josh was still attending school Fort was where we both found part- time jobs so we moved there. That apartment was a mansion compared to our previous apartment. It was such a beautiful place and we could paint the walls any color we wanted. So there again our hearts were there, bc we had each other. It was also there that we got our totally adorable Cocker Spaniel puppy Sugar Cookie!!!! She is sooo adorable and really just the cutest little dog ever!!!!!! We lived there for four months and then Josh got a full time accounting job an hour and a half north from Fort.... so..... we moved to Beaver Dam, WI.
    Our third home was in Beaver Dam, WI. This house literally was a castle compared to the second place. It was absolutely beautiful and we loved every inch of this place. It had three bedrooms and two bathrooms and a dream kitchen!!!!! Which naturally was a huge plus with my Pampered Chef business.  My love for cooking increased ten fold as well as my business. This house was really where our dreaming began to soar. It was definitely big enough for some babies. I imagined twin boys in the green room and some girls in the pink room. I dreamed about us sitting at the counter doing homework and all eating at the dinner table together. But obviously that is not what the Lord had planned for us. Our hearts were somewhat torn when we moved out of this place into a smaller, but much cheaper place to live. Yet our hearts are soon to recover bc Josh was moving and I was moving. So our hearts have once again landed into a new home where our hearts are even now.
