... was a very, very, very fine house. Ammon and I custom built our first real home in 2005 and we'll be leasing it for the next year or two while we're in Chile. I miss our house already. I miss being close to my friends. I miss taking our daily walk out to our mailbox. I miss watching the kids play in the backyard. I miss my open kitchen and
HUGE island, my garden bathtub, my spacious closet (especially since we're living out of suitcases) ... I miss
everything. I catch myself thinking about our tenants and what they're doing to
my yard,
my kitchen, ...
my house. But I guess, it's not really
my house anymore. Although, it was our first home, the home where we transitioned Carly into a "big girl bed" and Wesley had almost all of his "firsts"... it's someone else's home now. A home for someone else to create and experience their "firsts" in as well. And while I'm sure I'll continue to miss the amenities of this house, I know I'll always carry these memories with me.
In our "first" home we experienced many "firsts" together, but it won't be the last place where we grow, love, and laugh. I know that we'll continue to create more "firsts"... wherever we finally unpack and say, "We're home."

Awwww, you're making me cry! I feel the same way about our house and probably why I'm so intent on staying for as long as possible. I brought two babies home to this house. They learned to crawl in this house! Sniff sniff. We'll be bursting at the seems, and I'll still fight moving.
That's so sad... It is hard leaving your home. We've had 4 homes and each one I will always remember. It's always hard to leave the familiarity of everything. It seems like just when I'm getting used to everything we've up and left. Hopefully we'll be in our house now for a long time. Think of all the cool new memories you'll have from this experience! :)
so sad. i would miss an island too. i DO miss an island, and i've never had one. you're gonna love your next house though! so many memories to create!
It is so eerie to look at your house with nothing in it. I hate driving by it and thinking about the fact youre not in there. Boo Hoo.
Hola Ammom... me gusta tu casita, es muy bonita. Saludos. Pedro
