It's official now...

All the papers are signed...a key given to the new owners. I can deny it no longer....we closed on our house Wednesday. We no longer own a home...our home. As much as I want/wanted this move, it is still sad. Our three kids were babies here at this house...that's explanation enough, but this is the house that Frank's dad built, this is the house that he grew up in. For nearly 45 years it has been part of his family, now it belongs to a new family. A new family that is thrilled to have a "new" home of their own. A family that also has "new life" coming to their family this year, so they have much to celebrate this year. But it is a family that is friends with us and will allow my kids to come back here one day and look at their old rooms, their carvings on trees, trails that they made in the woods, the home they were not so sure about leaving....for that I am thankful.

Ok, enough sentimental...guess I am just a little that way, since we don't know for sure where we are going yet and that is a little unsettling. Our last day here in this house will be May 23rd, then we will move in with my parents, hopefully for just a short amount of time.

Hopefully by then we will be as excited about a new house as the family is to be moving into ours. Congratulations new owners!

I am sure that you will understand the possible hiatus I will be taking as we settle "somewhere". I promise to come back with lots of pictures of "someplace". Probably enough to drive you crazy! : )
