We moved too much for me to feel any of them are home still. There is something so appealing to me about the stability of knowing that house is there waiting for you, unchanged. Especially since my husband and I move so much, I wish I had a constant like that.

I technically still consider that home even though I haven't lived there in 9 years (that's crazy)... if only I could get my husband to move there, best of both worlds ;)Katie Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07905086552381124826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6978240399121226740.post-41394665772348114042015-06-26T05:21:18.093-04:002015-06-26T05:21:18.093-04:00Beautiful post, and Reid's comment was so swee...Beautiful post, and Reid's comment was so sweet. Home really is where your husband and children are, now. Growing up with your parents and having a wonderful childhood home was your home, and now you have a new one with your new family.

Your thinking just meant that your home is what brought you to where you are now. Reid is what will bring you into the future.<br /><br />liz @ <a href="http://www.sundayswithsophie.com/2015/06/mrs-specs.html" rel="nofollow">sundays with sophie</a>elle johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14851329490445780589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6978240399121226740.post-36465640484243492672015-06-25T19:14:35.364-04:002015-06-25T19:14:35.364-04:00Your first home sounds like the perfect fairy tale...Your first home sounds like the perfect fairy tale. Unfortunately I moved a lot when I was a kid (to a different continent even!) so there is no "childhood home" for me. Well maybe my grandparents' house. I love their house. I hope to create what you had for our children in the future.

Being a military spouse helped me break that attachment to home, and I have been a tumbleweed in the wind over the years. I find it hard to feel at home in my current house because I don't really like it here, but I know we will be on the move again soon because my husband is looking to get transferred either back to GA or another place that's not here. Wherever we are, we just roll with it. We know we won't be there long, and that's perfectly ok - we have each other, our cats, and we make each place our own.Karen {Run. Lift.

I know that since having our daughter, my husband and I have become more cohesive about OUR family, meaning the three of us, versus before when we still both so strongly identified with my family and your family. It's one of the beautiful changes of a baby and you have a fabulous outlook going into it!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11602230212953705470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6978240399121226740.post-23548813955120211102015-06-25T11:48:00.915-04:002015-06-25T11:48:00.915-04:00Seriously this gave me chills.

And the last time I was in it was two days before my wedding and as I left it for the last time I said goodbye because I knew my parents were selling it and it was hard, but home is where my husband is and that is the truth! xo, Biana -<a href="http://www.blovedboston.com" title="BlovedBoston" rel="nofollow">BlovedBoston</a>BLovedBostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03378765629410526703noreply@blogger.com
