Empty House Tour | Our Last Moments + Some Unfortunate News

[@susanhauke8164]

Fun to see the kids so young again. I enjoyed Rosie's missing front tooth. Happy New Year.

[@kathyball554]

I was teary for you. God opens one door while closing another. God bless.

[@ThisLifeFromScratch]

Amen!💝

[@KristenHoffman]

Yes! Thank you!

[@annw1395]

That was such a great idea to have the girls go thru the house, room by room, saying what their favorite thing in each had been. It gave them closure, and a positive spin on saying good-bye.

[@lisafriend5535]

Loved seeing the girls when they were younger.

[@lorishepard6535]

It’s always hard to leave a home where you’ve made loving memories. I know God helped you and Josh with your decision to move and He helped you find your new beautiful home. He will continue to watch over you and your family and bless you❤️

[@KristenHoffman]

I still miss it!

[@Lea2008-k8b]

As a military wife we moved every three years. I cried every time we moved. Wishing you many blessings in your new home. I always tried to leave a note and a plant or flowers for the new owners.

[@KristenHoffman]

I can't imagine! That had to be so hard.

[@vickicone6355]

It's always bitter-sweet when you leave a home behind that you lived in for many years, but there is something to be said about the excitement an anticipation of a new beginning. Hope the next 2 months fly by and you are in your forever home soon, beginning a wonderful new chapter in your lives! Praying that this waiting period will be a positive experience of family bonding.🙂

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you, Vicki!

[@debbyyoung9454]

It's hard leaving a home where memories were made. God had truly blessed you and your family. On to bigger and better plans. "Where God guides, He provides". ❤️

[@KristenHoffman]

Well said!

[@tanyajohnson7184]

Awwh I cry about everything. I know life is going to be crazy for you and your family for a couple of months. But the excitement of moving into your new to you home will be great!!

[@KristenHoffman]

Can't wait!

[@TraceyRenee1]

Got teary eyed. We moved 1 year ago out of our house we lived in for 11 years. Raised our kids there when they were little. It’s hard because of the memories but you will be so happy to have more space and make new memories💙

[@KristenHoffman]

We brought all three of our babies home here!

[@kmrolland67]

I got teary watching this. When I was 7 months pregnant we sold my parents home( they both passed away). I remember at closing, I was fine until we handed over the keys. This was my childhood home and the memories came flooding back. I cried so hard the realtor and the buyer were so afraid I would go into pre term labor. It's funny now,but you realize a house is much more than walls and a roof,it's the memories that make it. I wish you the best of luck in your new home and look forward to see all that you do there!

[@KristenHoffman]

It really means so much!

[@patriciaskitch2341]

Stay patient and trust your journey. Here’s to new beginnings and making more memories. Hang in there for the next two months, it will all be worth it. Enjoy your family time.

[@KristenHoffman]

We are trying to see it as an adventure!

[@deniseborchardt4491]

How bittersweet! Great idea to say goodbye to the old house as a family. Many blessings on the journey ahead and all of the new fun memories that will be created in the new house.

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you so much!

[@jeanieyelton1564]

Understand that feeling. We moved many times when our girls were small. Hopefully the 2 months will go by quickly for you. Can’t wait to see your new adventure 🙏💞

[@KristenHoffman]

I'm sure we will look back fondly on this season!

[@cbb_creationsceciliabaca775]

Two months will go by so fast and on the meantime you all can enjoy your family. Can’t wait for your new adventure. Any content will be fine we enjoy watching your videos! Blessings to you all!

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you!

[@marm2371]

I could feel all the emotion you guys are going through. We have lived in the same 4 bedroom home since we got married and our kids have only known this home and so when we do decide to downsize to a bungalow when the kids all move out and settle into their own homes, it will be tough. My oldest is almost 21 and so there are lots of memories here not only family moments, family holiday gatherings but also all the reno's and upgrades that we have made to make this a truly beautiful home that is all our own. God bless

[@KristenHoffman]

It was so hard! We have loved this home.

[@barbstormo7030]

I cried when we left our first home but quickly cried happy tears in our new home! Can't wait to see your new home!

[@KristenHoffman]

I think we will feel the same!

[@bethmann3283]

Many blessings for your new home! It will happen, be patient. I say that, but we are going through this same season but moving from Michigan to Arkansas! Be blessed!

[@KristenHoffman]

Whoa! That is a huge move!

[@bethmann3283]

@@KristenHoffman huge! I'll be relieved when we're all moved. Stressful!

[@susanm8957]

I still cry when I go back to the home where I raised my children. Change is good and so is God. Please take us along on your journey. God bless you....

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you, Susan!

[@robincarter5192]

We sold our house in Florida to move to Texas years ago. There was a 2 week between closings so we were "homeless". Difference we have family but we have 10 kids so no one would take us in. We stayed at a hotel room (at the time we had 6 kids still at home and I was pregnant with our 9th. Like 8+ months. Other 2 kids were adults and hadn't gotten pregnant with #10). We all got along and it brought us closer as a unit. God is so good to us! Enjoy the hard times along with the good.

[@KristenHoffman]

Wow, what a story!

[@gracegrasso9376]

Good luck in your new home .

[@llnut4775]

Awe this was so sweet! There is always hiccups with this stuff. We were suppose to be with family for a week when we moved states & it ended up being three. You will get through it, hang in there.

[@KristenHoffman]

Plans are always changing!

[@susanguzzo3643]

I feel sad every time I leave a home it’s about memories and making new ones!

[@KristenHoffman]

I feel you!

[@tammyr6669]

I can't wait to see all of your adventures to come. You will be in your new home before you know it. ❤

[@KristenHoffman]

I sure hope so!

[@lynnek4226]

It’s bittersweet, saying goodbye to a former home. But what an exciting new season for you and your family! I decided to build a new home and am now on a waiting list for a purchase agreement, after being in an apartment for a year. Exciting times!

[@KristenHoffman]

Wow! A year?! That is so long!

[@sharonsomers5513]

Happy for your family getting a new house. I am sure the next couple of months will be stressful but it will be all worth it in the end.

[@KristenHoffman]

I hope so too!

[@mishalea]

I feel ya, girlfriend. Having been military, I can emphasize. But as my friend always says, Onward and Upward!!👍🙏💖 God bless y'all!

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you!

[@robynbohbot3709]

It will be quite the change moving from Benson to Springfield - but no doubt many blessings will come your way!

[@KristenHoffman]

I hope so!

[@johnmelissaziech6207]

Just hang in there! You're all together and everyone's healthy. You can do this! Looking forward to see what you do with your new home. God bless you all.

[@KristenHoffman]

We are so excited to get in there!

[@amyk3020]

Always emotional leaving a home that you have great memories but time to expand and start new ones....

[@KristenHoffman]

I still can't believe we are gone, and somebody else lives here!

[@unicemarquez9850]

Bitter sweet. Am very happy for your family, congratulations

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you so much 😊

[@margaretrose8105]

We moved January 2021. The people that bought our place wanted in asap..so we asked Lady we bought new house from if we could move in before closing date and she said ok. We just had to sign a paper etc stating why . Everything went great. Good luck. Maybe you could have painting and floors done while waiting.

[@KristenHoffman]

I wish this was the case! The people who are in the house have to stay there until their house is finished being built.

[@ThisLifeFromScratch]

Wishing you all the best, sweet family!

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you so much!

[@laceywright8933]

What an emotional transition. I know you are all trusting in the Lord and He has provided what you need throughout. We were sad to leave our first home as well. Both of our kids were born at our first home. I can't wait to see your upcoming content whether you are "homeless" or moving in! Take care Hoffman's.

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you, Lacey!

[@mariettedemarest5173]

Precious baby !

[@mariannamiller738]

We were at our last home for 14 years! I know how you feel! May God bless you and your next home!! I’m sure you will love it! 🥰

[@KristenHoffman]

Yes! Thank you!

[@jenurban]

Congrats y’all! Just a tip for anyone that may be reading this or you on your next home if you end up in a similar situation, you can make your move out date contingent on your move in date of your new home and just write it into the contract within reason. My family just did this. Apologies if you already knew this and perhaps it didn’t work out that way for some reason. Another option is essentially renting from the new owner until you can move in the new place but obviously they have to be in a position for this to work for them. Looking forward to watching your family grow into your new home! With love from Texas.

[@DH-qz2so]

...if it works! You may lose on the sale of your home, if you have too many items on the 'subject to....' list....

[@KristenHoffman]

Yeah, we chose to do the kind thing, and let our buyer move in early. We probably should have done this.

[@lauraanderson2199]

Looking forward to your next adventure. The two months will be over before you know it :)

[@KristenHoffman]

We are so anxious to get into our new home!

[@reginawilliams3035]

You two are so amazing!! God has got you and this!! Trust in Him, He goes through everything with us!! Love your channel!!

Thank you, Regina!

*Kristen, Josh and family...Congratulations on closing on your home...and prayers for a smooth transition into your new home❣️💕😊 You are going to LOVE your new, covered wrap-around porch❣️🤣*

[@KristenHoffman]

We are so excited about it!

[@rosannasauereisen2827]

We are moving in a few weeks as well. The difference between you and us is that we've lived in the same house for 19 years! Our kids are tweens and teens and they are all moving for the first time. We are only moving about 2.5 miles but it is a big move as we are moving from a town to a 20 acreage homestead. We are incredibly excited about this move but some of feels very daunting. We will not be homeless in between like you guys though.

[@KristenHoffman]

This sounds amazing!

[@janegreene1282]

Hi, Kristen. You, Josh, and the girls have so many wonderful memories in that house! I know you are ready to take that next step. You will be able to make new memories in your new home and share that blessing with others. Look forward to seeing the home has blessed you with!!! Greetings from Oklahoma. Jane Greene

[@KristenHoffman]

Can't wait!

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you so much!

[@nancymosley708]

I understand your tears. They also come I’m sure with exhaustion of moving. It is always bittersweet but I know the Lord has a plan for the delay and you’ll be sharing praises along the way. Enjoy spending family time and preparing for your new home and new memories. God bless you all. 😊

[@KristenHoffman]

Nancy, the exhaustion is REAL! I am so tired.

[@tessab.2065]

There are a lot of nice thrift shops in Springfield, and Relics Antique Mall is HUGE!

[@KristenHoffman]

I'll have to check it out!

[@jaynebrown693]

Hi Kristen and FAMILY ! You did so good saying goodbye. 💛💛💛💛💛🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💛💛💛💛💛 I’m sure some more tears will come. Not easy with little ones moving from place to place even if it is family members … 2 months is a long time for little minds. Prayers for THEM!!! 🥰🥰🥰 I moved out of my family home when I got married at age 20 and then moved out of the home my husband and girls lived in for 28 years … only to move BACK into my family home. There were no sad feelings for me …I know that sounds cold to have no feelings for that home…but we had been broken into when our oldest girl was a Senior in High School. It was such a horrific feeling to have your household items, clothing, entertainment items, collections, my husband’s guns stolen and walk into a destroyed home, furniture turned over, windows broken…. Everything trashed on a cold snowy January day. The wind chill was 35 BELOW that year on that day. All feelings of security, happiness, memories where gone that moment. Anything I had for that house felt like it had been raped and beaten up. I never felt safe again in that home. Sooooo moving back in to my family home ( although the reason were even more sorrowful than the break in… the death of my much loved Dad..and a Mother who was also dying with cancer and needed 24/7 care ) my soul felt safe, ready to be home, ready to love my Mother everyday and care for her. I think moving out of THIS HOME… would / will definitely be hard to me…the tears would be there! Many, many incredible memories here… from childhood to all the ones made with our older granddaughters and now with our little grandkids ( they range from 19 years old ..down to 3 years old! Even though our daughters are 2 years apart…the younger didn’t get pregnant until she was late 30’s… God PROVIDES our needs on His time …Amen? ) She is a crazy Momma at 42 ! But SO THANKFUL to have those little ones ! 🙏🙏 Sorry for the long comment… but my heart hurts for those leaving a home and going to a new when I know “feelings are attached” to a home. Just that my feeling were opposite… I was relieved to be back home. So prayers will be prayed for you and Josh on all the stress of living in different places and comforting little ones. Prayers for ALL PAPER WORK AND WORKERS to be able to do what you would like done…. Prayers simply for this transition to go well and as little tears cried as possible ! Been thinking about you and your family ! Know that I’m praying and praying for it all to be “GOOD” 💛💛🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💛💛

[@lesliejackson8188]

*@Jayne Brown...Well said, Jayne. I am so sorry 😞 your house was broken into and robbed; it's understandable that your sense of security and peace of mind was shattered 🥺 after a rape and pillage of your home occurred. God bless you, your husband and your ENTIRE extended family this sweet Sunday❣️💕HUGS❣️❣️❣️🙏☝️*

[@KristenHoffman]

Wow, that must have been so traumatizing to have that break in experience! I'm so glad you have been able to be with your mother. I'm sure it feels good to be in your forever home!

[@larag1764]

I felt emotional for you whilst watching - moving home is tough enough without two months in between. I hope you, Josh, your gorgeous girls and dog are all able to stay safe and find ways to cope with the disruption. Don't worry about vlogging - we'll be here when you get back 😉 Hi from Australia xx

I predict that God is going to bless you all immensely over the next couple of months! And you might feel homeless, but you truly aren't. You won't be living out of your car or in a shelter. You have been blessed with gracious family. I think that, in the future, you will be telling funny stories about this adventure. Blessings!❤

I think so too!
