Goodbye to old familiar friend...........

Today is the last day in my house. This house has been a dear friend to me. It has kept us warm in the winter time and cool in the summer. We have had some great times in this house. Christmases, birthdays, parties, gatherings, and many hours of laughter and even a few tears. It has seen good times and bad times.

Both of m girls started school in this house. Both of my girls lost their first teeth in this house. We have been so blessed by God here. We grew up here, David and I. We became parents of a second baby girl here.

We experimented with home remodeling in this house. Some turned out great and some not so great. It is odd to sit in your house with all of your belongings packed up. It is a weird feeling. The walls echo of distant memories. The resound the laughter that was once experienced. I look at the carpet and see not only carpet, but all the times we played games on the floor or had a pizza picnic there. We used to spread out sheets on the living room floor and have a pizza picnic. The girls absolutely loved it and we did too.

We are loading the truck tomorrow. I am ready to stop living in the middle and get a move on with the next chapter of our lives. It will be so good to have my hunny home more. And I know he is tired of traveling back and forth.

I am very excited about our new house. We will have to break it in with more pizza picnics. More game night and all of the wonderful things that families do to grow in love with each other. we will head out July 4th. We will be staying with family until we leave.

So goodbye dear friend. I pray that God peace continue to reside here for the next family as it did with us.

ttfn............
