Sentimentality



Greetings from inside my new kitchen. We had our walk through on Friday and I got to sit inside while Jake did the lame-o outside stuff. While I sat inside I sat on the counter top and thought about how weird it is that in less than a week things will be new. New beginnings and new changes. A new way to watch the sunset and a new way to drive home. Two things I will miss the most about living in my old house. I had the best sunset windows and we took Main Street everywhere we went. Your life is enriched every time to get to drive between all those old trees. That house and that neighborhood will never be replaced but will always be tender to me.

I am pretty disappointed that our friends that were moving into the new neighborhood as well may not be moving there. Though my sadness is met thousand folds by the people that are happy that they are staying where they are. I just won't get the pitty invite to things when they invite her and feel bad for not inviting m too. She is much more likable than I.

So just a few more days and we will close on our house. And two more months and we will have a new baby. Weird, weird, double weird. But nonetheless exciting. I'll never forget my little kids crawling on those floors or eating on the bar. And it will be really weird to be back in Farmington in a different place. The east side is awesome. I just have to run a little farther to get to the Lagoon trail, it will help me get back in shape :)

So to the new and love to the old.
In memory of the old house. That now hold worthy inhabitants that luckily are becoming friends so with our loss we also gain.



Two of my three children were conceived in that bedroom.. hee hee... Let's hope the next house holds the same fertility powers if we so choose to have another! (sorry if that was TMI than you are on the wrong blog.)

It's funny cause I was talking just today to my hubby about those main street trees....oooooh, how I can't get enough of that street! I was driving home from the gym yesterday morning with all the snow on those old trees...can I say there's nothing better? I don't want to move one more inch away from that street. But I think soon I will have to...to get a new house...sad! I have lived a lot of my life in this little city, and just can't make myself move out of it...my husband thinks I am quite crazy!!!

Miss you...can't wait to see what you will do to your cute new house. Have I told you before i'm jealous...well i'll tell ya again...I'M JEALOUS!!!!!

Totally not TMI. Your whole life was in that house. Your kiddies were brought home there from the hospital, they tried your nerves at 4am there, they got sick there and you took care of them, they grew up way to fast there. You won't forget that stuff. I think that stuff would be pretty hard to forget. Plus you took a ton of pictures right? :)

I hear ya girl! New houses and changes are so much fun, but come with such mixed emotions.
We just moved into our new house 2 weeks ago and absolutely love it!
Good luck with the move and the new baby in a couple months.

I swear we are living the same life!!! I feel exactly the same way you do. It is sad but exciting at the same time. I am excited to see your new house. You will make it beautiful:)

Kristin said...

Ok can I just say that looking at all the brand new things in your house makes me a bit jealous? We are still trying to make it over there but like I said before I can't stress myself out about it. But we are still trying. I want to come see your house when you are all moved in. (and I beg to differ on the likable issue...... I think you are more likable then I.)

Wow! You have a lot of big things going on and I haven't seen you forever. Your old house is so darling and I can't wait to see what comes of all those amazing fabrics in your new house. Yes, I mean it, I want an invite. Good luck with your babe. Luv ya girl!
