I’m feeling sentimental tonight.
In the past few days my husband and I pretty much finished cleaning out our old house, in preparation for closing next week. We will be pre-signing the papers tomorrow.
I’m thrilled that our old house is almost sold.
I’m also a teeny, weeny bit sad.
Sunday and Monday I took the girls to the house to play outside while I got some work done, and watching them spend their last moments playing on their old play set and in our old yard nearly made me cry. Nearly.
^^ A last picnic lunch on Sunday ^^
^^ Monday they played in our old yard for the last time. Ever. ^^
It’s funny that I don’t really feel like I’m going to miss the house, but I have so many memories of my girls in that yard, and my husband with my girls in that yard, and our family with our friends in that yard, and I’m all nostalgic about it.
This is somewhat nonsensical, because I obviously have tons of memories with them in the house too, but that’s how it is.
Fortunately, we are always making new memories, and we have a pretty great place for some wonderful ones.
We are so blessed and have so much to look forward to in this new home, and I’m certainly not going to spend my time pining for an old house that I’ve been quite happy to leave.
Except for a few minutes tonight. Tonight I guess I’ll remember and miss that old place just a little bit.
Tomorrow we’ll go back to making memories here.
Moving is so hard! but these photos and memories are just beautiful! You’ll make just as many lovely memories in your new home with your beautiful family! Hugs and prayers for the transition!
Thank you, Amanda. I’m looking forward to all the new memories here, for sure!
