Final Farewell

Tonight is our last night in our first home. Justin and I built our home as we were planning our wedding. We love this house, it holds many special memories, and we have great people all around us. All of this is making it emotionally hard to leave. We actually close on Wednesday, but must work all week so we are doing most of the moving tomorrow. Last night we hosted a shrimp boil for all our great neighbors. We will miss them so, but will be back to visit often.

A few pics of our first home

Now, onto other business. The Aggies sure did WHOOP Tech tonight. The emotional roller coaster football season brings me is now in an extreme valley. I am disappointed because Tech had been playing well and looked to finish strong. I had a bad feeling as soon as I heard Sheffield was out. Tech is always a sucker for the trap game and plays down when unexpected things happen. I even told my Aggie friend Abby I was nervous about the game...I had good reason, TECH STUNK IT UP. I must say congrats to all you Aggies out there.

I am looking forward to starting Crab on my fantasy team tomorrow. My fantasy team really stinks because I have a habit of picking players I am partial to, rather than players that are productive. I have tons of Cowboys and all Tech players available. Needless to say, my team only has two wins this season. I will watch Crabtree, hopefully redeem my Tech pride, and think back to more exciting times at Tech like when Crabtree scored with a few seconds left to beat Texas. (I sound pathetic, haha)

I'm sure you have so many wonderful memories in your first house. I can't wait to see your next place!

emotions are running high for the gilmores. goodbye villages at spring lake, now that you moved we will probably never go there again, so we will probably never get to look at our first house and reminisce as we drive by to your house. how fun was that living so close? I don't feel like we truly realized how awesome it was until it was over.

Regina said...

Awwww. That would be hard! But your next house is where Caroline will remember growing up and you will make all new memories!

Abby Batlle said...

i know it has to be so emotional to leave your first house especially with your great neighbors. the new house will bring even more memories!

i didn't believe you when you told me you were nervous about the game and i sure didn't think you had reason to be. strange game!!

I definitley understand your saddness! I still get sad often!

Jocelyn said...

I would be so sad too... even though I'm sure your new house will be fantastic! We've only been in our house three years, and it's the longest I've lived anywhere since moving out of my parents' house. It truly feels like "home" to us.

We've also recently decided to stay put for a long time, which is the biggest reason we've redone so much this year (we just got new hardwood floors this week!), but honestly, people our age just never know when we might decide to move!
