It's official!!

It's official.  We're selling the house.  Tonight, we signed the contract and the house will be officially listed on Monday.  Wow, what a year this is going to be.  I can't say that I'm not sad.  I can't say that I won't miss the deer, the bunnies, the raccoons and the trees.  I will absolutely miss every inch of the house that Jeff built for all of us.  But it's time for Jeff and I to find a place for us.  One that we can grow old in.  One that doesn't have so much work that we'll be old way before our time.  It's hard to imagine life in a year when Will leaves too and we're empty nesters.  Its even harder to imagine roaming through this house, cleaning their empty rooms and waiting for that winter or spring break that will go by way too fast.

I hope one day they'll understand.  I hope they know that it's more important to us to be able to save and help them with their first home as opposed to killing ourselves to hold on to their childhood home.  Love will always fill our house, no matter which house it it.  I'll be waiting at the door to welcome them home...no matter the address of that home.  I've always told Jeff and the boys that we could live in a box under a bridge and it wouldn't matter, as long as we were all together.  I mean that.  Home is where your heart is.
