moving on...

we handed over the keys to our condo today. yesterday we had the final walk through. i found myself full of emotions and even tearing up as we walked through the empty rooms of our home. it's funny how attached to a house you can get. we've put so much heart, sweat, and soul into making it our home. so many memories and the simple comfort of walking through the door and being home.
i can't help but reminisce about the past 3-plus years. i moved in as a single, 1st year school teacher. buying a condo was nowhere in my plans... it literally fell into my lap. i am so grateful it did. the projects started from day one. the first days were spent painting and ripping out old flooring and replacing with new. the work never finished.
brandon and i soon met. we dated and spent every moment at the condo. he helped with new ventures and it soon became his home too. even while moving out, brandon and i talked about the "projects" we never got around to completing.
saying goodbye to our first home was harder than i thought it would be. it had become a part of me.
{i'm a titch-bit sentimental.. can you tell???}
when everything was cleared out, brandon and i layed on our bedroom floor and remembered. i'm excited to find a new place to call home. (we're currently calling my parent's basement home... we are so very grateful for it!)
