Saying Good Bye~

I don't know if I should be happy or sad. Today I said good bye to a very dear old friend.... our house. That's right our house has finally sold and now it's time to move on to our new house and soon call it home.

This house was our first home. Ken and I got engaged in this house, married, started our family, raised lots of animals, had many friends over for many fun parties, celebrated many happy times. We shared many first in this house; first anniversaries, first baby (and second), first steps, first birthdays, first big snow~. We have 15 years of very happy memories in this house.

When the moving truck pulled away I cried and cried.... for 10 minutes I balled my eyes out... saying good bye to an old friend that I could always count on to be there for me... saying good bye to an old friend I could always find comfort in, saying good bye to the yard my children felt their first blade of grass under their little bare feet, saying good bye to the one place I knew would be waiting for me to hold me and keep me safe.

The one thing that is going to be very hard is saying good bye to great neighbors~ We couldn't have been more blessed to have had great neighbors~ All of them have been wonderful. We had so many happy times with all of them. I will never forget Halloween and the 4th of July! What great memories.

I pray that the new owners have as many fun memories as we did. I pray they will love this house as much as we did.

Now we are moving on to make new memories in our new house... but that is another blog waiting to happen.... more to come~
