Bittersweet...

So today we sold our first home. Now, we moved out in November, and into our new home, but since that time we have had two escrows fall through, and have been anxiously awaiting the sell of this home. Making two house payments has been tough, but we've managed. God really does take care of you, if you have faith.

I digress...

The point is...I'm sad. I couldn't wait to get out of our small little starter home and move into something bigger and better. Today, I realized that life was a lot simpler in that house. I'm happy where we're at, and where we're going, but part of me loves that house an doesn't want to give it away. It's funny how an object such as a house has such emotional value to you. I still feel like part of that house is my "home"...even walking into it tonight for the last time, all cold, and vacant, it still felt like home. I only hope the new owners can create as many fond memories in their new home as I did.

Adios Elwood Street...
