I awake to my youngest, Willow, crying realizing this is the last day in our warm comforting house. I don't understand why my husband Rodger wants to move, we'd be leaving our closest friends which makes me sick to my stomach thinking how life would be without having them come over all the time but it's just gotten too crowded here. Leaving memories behind, all 3 of our children growing up in what we chose to live in forever. It has at least been 8 years of living here because we moved to Missouri with the nice farmland while I was pregnant with my oldest, Grace. Although I do like the idea of having 640 acres of land for free, getting to build a house we like.

Just my husband and I with our children without anyone else..doesn't sound too bad. Not forgetting about the most important things to our family, the Bible, all the letters and pictures of my friends and family, and small decor that will easily fit in something

    The crisp breeze rustled my hair as I walked out of my house on the fall September day with my dad drilling instructions into my head. It was my first Little League baseball game ever, and my dad wanted to make sure it wasn’t my last. Being seven years old and never touching a baseball was something that had scared me; a lot. I had no idea what to think about this foreign, petrifying, game could possibly be about. The car ride from my house was only a few minutes away from the fields where I would begin my baseball career.…
