Almost everything is done in the new house...still waiting on the countertop and everything needs organized, but this weekend is going to be focused on putting the finishing touches on Waterman before we close.
All I have talked about, thought about and plotted to do for a year was to move. We outgrew our little starter home long ago and are sooo happy with our new home and excited for the possibilities that the future holds. But as the time gets closer to closing on the sale of it, sentiment is creeping into my head. It was the first house that we lived in, the first house for both of our kids. Already when we look at pictures, Livi says with nostalgia, awww I miss the old house.
No closet space, small rooms, no space for a proper kitchen table, one bathroom...what's to miss? Knotty pine walls, the kitchen we remodeled, Livi's yellow room and flower wallpaper, Alex's half blue and half tan wall and construction border, pulling up the carpet to find beautiful hard wood floors, Papa Luchini sitting on the couch and figuring out that the light switch at the end of the hall worked the outside lamp post...and all of the memories.
