Empty House

The movers finished loading the van today. Empty house now and very surreal! When the movers left, I sat down on our stairs and my eyes swelled up just thinking of all the wonderful memories in this house. Mark came over and sat down next to me and the same thing happened to him. It's not the fact that we're leaving the house, it's the memories that the house holds that's hard to leave.

But, it is time. The girls and their families are not coming back to the area to live and it just doesn't make sense to live so far away anymore. At least we have the ability to make the distance between us a lot less.

So, we'll do the final cleaning tomorrow and leave a welcome note for the new owners. We hope they have as much pleasure, happiness, and pride in this house as we have had for the past 20 years!
