So itsofficial we closed on our first house on Wednsday. It went smoothly although moving didnt. We had a few hiccups and the first day here was hard, I felt closterphobic and unorganized and of course so much loss for the first house that we ever owned. I wish so badly we could have kept it forever, and just moved it around with us to new neighborhoods and make it bigger. It holds so many memories, and all really important ones, its where I brought all of my babies home to (at least the ones so far) and watched them learn how to walk, and all of the little things we did together in the house. The baseball and dancing and snuggling. That house is so much a part of who we are. And I cant believe the youngest two wont even remember it. After the first night Ashlyn said "I cried a lot last night because Im so homesick." Later she told Josh she was sad but she would get over it. And everytime we drive past the house she said "everytime we drive by I get a little sadder" And I said "me too."
But after the first night here we got acclimated pretty well and I cant believe weve already been here a whole week. So far actually Im lovin it. Steve is so helpful, while the babies are napping I can go to walmart and get groceries, how nice is that? Plus I, wait for it, having been making dinners almost everynight. I actually enjoyed it. Weird I know. Its been nice being near Andi, and so far things have been nice. Although I will always love that house for what it means for my family, its ok to move on.
Last dance fest in our empty house. 
Picture outside the front door. It was raining outside, it was right before the flood started. 
Rylan wouldnt sit for this picture. He was to busy walking around saying Sit? trying to figure out where everything went. 
These are the people who bought our house. They forgot their camera so we took a picture for them. She was so happy theyd been living in apts for a long time, so she couldnt stop smiling. I was so happy for them I ALMOST forgot to be sad for myself. Bah bye House, bah bye big back yard!
On to the next.
