From the moment we moved in, I've loved our little apt.
Recently, I've recognized one of the things I love the most!
This picture doesn't do it justice, but we have a huge tree outside our big apt window.
When we moved in it was so green and full of leaves, signifying the summer months.
As fall approached, the leaves became a rich orange and red, and slowly began to fall off.
I dream of waking up on Christmas morning and looking out our big window to see snow silently hitting the white branches.
As the seasons change and as time goes on, this tree changes.
And in a way, we change too.
I love the idea of having a big tree in the front yard of our future home..
A place for kids to climb and play, to lay a picnic blanket under or jump in the leaves..
The first thing they'll see when they look out the window to see the first snowfall.
Always there to remind us of the time that has passed,
and of all the memories we've shared.
This Thanksgiving there are many things I have to be grateful for,
and this tree outside our first apartment together, is one of them.
