This Old House

With only a couple days left in this house, the nostalgia is starting to set in. I haven't really thought much about it so far. I knew buying a house meant we would be moving but I hadn't really considered that it also meant we wouldn't live here anymore.

We've made so many memories in this house and I'm glad the memories will stick even when we move. I've spent way too much time complaining that this house is too small or the street is too busy or the neighbors always blow their grass in the street. Here are some things I will miss...

1. Walking to the grocery store. Does it count as exercise when you walk to the store to buy donuts?

2. Being so close to everything...especially restaurants and Target. 

3. The big trees and our shady yard. I always pictured Lily playing kickball or learning to do cartwheels in our backyard. Actually, I can't do a cartwheel so maybe she should learn in someone else's backyard...close to a hospital.

4.  The five minute drive to church.  Why are Sunday mornings always hectic?  Clothes are set out the night before, everything is ready for a smooth morning but something weird always happens.

There are so many other things I will miss, things I probably won't even realize until I miss them. I know it was the right time to sell and move on but this old house has been great and special and will forever be our first house.

Change...eh...I'm not always so good with it. I'll work on that in the next house.
