On September 30th we locked the doors to our first home and drove away. We haven't yet been back though I'm sure at some point we will drive by just to see how much it's changed since we were there.
It was hard leaving for so many reasons. We really, REALLY loved our first house. We felt like we won the lottery when we found out they accepted our offer and we got to move into a "move in ready" house. Our inspector called it a "Cream Puff," which was pretty much the best thing he could have said to us. I love Cream Puffs. 😉
We really, REALLY loved all our friends there. Sometimes I start thinking about all of them and that's when I get most homesick. It makes me sad to think that our lives won't be so closely intertwined as they used to be. I'm going to miss catching up with them, spending time together and just watching our families grown up together.
And for me at least, it was really hard to leave the house that so many truly wonderful memories were built in. I know I get to keep the memories with me but it's different not being in the house they were created in.
So much has changed since we got the keys to our old house.

I'm not big on change.
But it can be good.
