This last week has been one of the toughest, and yet there’s been so much beauty in it ♥️ Here’s the story I owe to you guys: about 10 years ago my family relocated to Europe, except me. I stayed behind in CA bc I just couldn’t leave it for good ☀️🥑🌴 They left behind their house here in the Valley (Suburbs of LA). I lived and managed it for several years before moving to SLO with my hubby. I always kept my room and most of my things here as I’m constantly visiting LA. At the time my family left behind a house full of life and memories bc they were convinced they would move back in 2-3 years. Almost 10 years later and moving back is still not in sight for them, though my sweet little brother made it back last year 💖 I couldn’t be more grateful! Now, we are just a few days away from the close of escrow on this house (separate from my house in SLO) and the amount of time that we’ve all put into cleaning out our lives here has been overwhelming to say the least. This property has a motherload of furniture, memories, keepsakes and things we’ve all accumulated and left behind for years. Last weekend, we all got together here for the first time in 4 YEARS and gave it our undivided time and attention. I felt like we barely made a dent and that’s partly because my mom kept pulling boxes out to keep! Hahah J/K mom! 💕😘 Through busy times like these you get to hang out and learn even more about your family, and that’s been precious in its own way 💖 This process hasn’t been easy on any of us but we’ve been there for one another and found ways to make it fun 😅. Though it would have been much easier on me to have been everywhere else during these past weeks, I wanted to be here. I needed to be here. Because FAMILY. 💖 We’re about to close on this long-time-coming chapter in just a few DAYS! Thank you guys for your support and patience as I wrap up here. I know that you guys understand and I love you for it ♥️xx http://liketk.it/2uY6C @liketoknow.it #liketkit
