Bye Bye House...

Well, it's official. We closed on our house last Wednesday.








What a week we've had - moving, cleaning, and saying goodbye to the home we've known for the past 5 years. I wasn't as emotional as I thought I would be as I walked through it for the last time. I'm sure there will be more tears in the coming weeks (I don't usually do this well with big changes). My mom and visiting teacher, Diane, helped me out tremendously with the move and the cleaning - a huge thanks to these beautiful women in my life!

As we finished up, I did a last walk-through and said my goodbyes to the house. Summer was with me, and as we left the keys and garage door openers on the counter she said, "I'm going to miss this counter with all its spots." I felt prompted to offer a prayer, so there we stood in the empty kitchen and thanked Heavenly Father for all the wonderful memories we've made in the house. Summer thanked Heavenly Father for the wood floor - funny kid!

It really was a great house.

It's so funny the things kids say they are thankful for in prayers! They are so innocent.
Good luck with everything. It's hard to leave when you have had so many memories there. You will have so many more good ones to come!
Did Kimi have any luck?

That's great that you were able to sell your house and move out so quickly. Good luck with the future :). Summer is a cute girl!

Wish I could have moved into your house. I loved it and I love your neighborhood. That is prob. why it sold so fast. Good luck with finding a home that has every thing you want. It will be nice to have another home to decorate. Love ya babe. Has Kimi found a house yet?
