We've officially been in the new house two weeks today. I stopped by the old house yesterday to check the mail and pick up some random wires that we left. The stagers have started their work, so it feels a little like someone else already lives there.
I got a little nostalgic seeing foreign furniture in our space. Even though The Gorilla bought the house before we even started dating, I put my mark on it. In six years we made important memories there.
We had our first kiss.
We said our first I love yous.
We returned there from our honeymoon.
We made our baby.
We brought home our baby.
We survived three major remodel projects.
We celebrated a #1 movie.
I took late night calls from my brother in Iraq.
We hosted family weekends, fantasy football drafts, college friends, dozens of cookouts, a farewell party, and welcome home party, a documentary night series, and a funeral.
Yes, a funeral.
I can only remember a handful of times I shed tears in that house, but can remember hundreds of times I doubled over belly laughing.
It was a great house.

Did you know that there are whole teams of librarians who do dances with their carts? They have funny names. Oh, yes, after I saw this one I YouTube'd them all. (The Book Lady's Blog)
