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!)

Good grief, you about made ME cry reading that! :( First homes are always special. Good luck with whatever moves are coming your way!
I remember leaving my first home too. So bitter sweet (actually for me it was just bitter). We weren't even sure where we would be living once we got to WA.
You'll find something again...when the time is right...at it will become home too.
Have fun with the parents! :)
I was acutally thinking what it would be like to move from our home. After you put so much work and love into a house it really does become a part of you. Good luck with the house hunt, and have fun being with your family. I wish my family lived closer
Ya geez that made ME sad too!!! I'm terrible at goodbye's, even if it is just a house! Good thing I wasn't there...
