waking up this morning i realized we only have 5 more mornings in our house before we leave it for 2+ years.
we've been the only people to inhabit these walls since it was built and it is hard to think of other people living here.
this is where the wife proposed to me while we were under contract, where we've had birthday parties, wedding showers, christmas parties, georgia football parties, bbq's, easter potlucks, poker nights, game nights, brunches, dinner parties...okay so we like to entertain a lot...it is where we've laughed a million laughs, cried from sadness and joy, where i've cooked more food than i can remember, baked a zillion cookies and probably a hundred cakes and had more cocktails with friends than i need to try to calculate...this has been our home for the past 4 years and although i cannot wait for what the future holds, there is a tinge of sadness in leaving it behind.
i know of course, it isn't the actual house that i'm sad to leave but all of our wonderful friends who helped us create such wonderful memories within it's walls.
so, thanks guys...we love you all and are looking forward to creating many more when we return...

Time sure passes by quickly, doesn't it? I'll never forget the sight of that maple through the living room window.....when I first saw it, I knew it was the right place for you guys......and the next place will be even better.......the house was lucky to have you, just as we are!
