Dear 53,
Six years with you — and what a crazy six years it’s been.
When we found you, we were lost. Corey and I had hunted for houses for over a year, got outbid more than 50 times, and walked through hundreds of houses in so many towns. We were exhausted, defeated… and I was pregnant (the irony 😅). We saved everything we could while raising our oldest, just hoping for a place to call home.
Then we stumbled on you. We could afford you. We could build you. And just like that, you became our first real home together. Corey and I had never lived together before — this was our first true journey as a family. My oldest was two, I was pregnant with our second, and the chaos was just beginning.
You were where we started our family. You gave us countless firsts (and some lasts). You were filled with laughter, love, and endless kid chaos. You hosted the parties, the backyard playdates, the friends who came and went, and the family who never stopped showing up. You were an open-door house — always welcoming, always full of snacks, always full of love.
53, you also gave me the chance to open my business — right in this very kitchen 💀. This is where I created new foods, treats, and connections that became the heart of Be Fit Kitchen. The place where ideas turned into recipes, and recipes turned into something bigger than I ever imagined.
We celebrated new babies, mourned losses, and cheered through every little and big change under your roof. You gave us what we needed, exactly when we needed it. And for that, I’ll always be grateful.
But our time here is up. What once felt like everything we wanted — the neighborhood, the people, the noise — turned into something we realized wasn’t truly us. We crave space, privacy, and a place where our boys can run free in the woods. A place closer to family.
So, thank you, 53. Thank you for creating our family, for being the safe place we needed, for being the house that built my business, and for being the house that taught us what home really means. You’ll never be forgotten as we move into this next chapter — as a family of five 💛
Forever grateful,
The Eastwood’s 🖤
