It’s just a house
It’s just our first home
It’s just where we painted and painted and painted
It’s just where our new church family helped us move in
It’s just where our hamster escaped (twice)
It’s just where we got our first dog
It’s just where we came back to after so many trips
It’s just where we celebrated four Christmases
It’s just where we hosted countless friends
It’s just where family stayed with us
It’s just where we got awful news and cried together
It’s just where we had our first (and only) real fight
It’s just where we survived a pandemic
It’s just where we worked and worshiped for months
It’s just where we hosted weekly online trivia
It’s just where we watched every episode of The Office
It’s just where we had small group
It’s just where we started meeting our book-reading goals
It’s just where he finally had his home gym and I learned to crochet
It’s just where we tried to get pregnant
It’s just where we tried everything
It’s just where we birthed our baby girl together
It’s just where we made it through the darkness of postpartum together
It’s just where she learned to laugh, roll over, crawl, stand up, eat solids
It’s just where we celebrated 2, 3, 4, 5 years of marriage together
It’s just where we prayed and decided it wouldn’t be our house any more
It’s just a house
But it was our house
It was where our life happened
