Good Bye Little House

Well....it's official.  We moved this week.  It was a very bittersweet experience.  I loved my little house. I can remember when I bought it thinking I would live there forever....and I really meant it.  I can remember having a conversation with my mom saying that I really could live in that house forever.  Her response was that most people live in their homes an average of 7 years.  Well, seven years later, almost to the month, and I moved.  We moved.  We just outgrew the house.  This is the house Frank and I lived in when we got married.  This was Vivi's first house.  We have so many good memories.  The good news is we still own this house.  It will make someone a great rent house.  I just hope they love it like we did.

I'm now sitting in my new house writing this post.  I feel like we live in a mansion even though it's 2,200 square feet.  Our two year house hunt has made us REALLY appreciate this house.  It is so spacious and roomy and nice and new and clean.....  And the kitchen....oh my gosh.  I love my gas stove, my dishwasher, my awesome faucet.  I love my pantry!  How did I live so long without a pantry?!  Vivi has even gotten lost a time or two.  It's hilarious!  We've already started a few home improvements, although it's all cosmetic.  We had a painter come in and paint Vivi's room and the master bedroom.  Good bye lime green!  We had an electrician install under-cabinet lighting in the kitchen and hopefully the tile guy can do our new subway tile backsplash next week.  I will be posting many pictures in the future, but I just can't do it today.  I have to pay homage to my old love.

Good bye little house...we'll miss you....
