We closed on this house on Dec. 9, 2007 and we now close on Dec. 6, 2012. It has been an amazing 5 years. We've had so many wonderful memories with family and friends here. Starting with a big New Year's Eve party just a few weeks after we moved in. We worked hard to get our house put together, painted the dining room, changed every light fixture in the house and cooked for over 30 people. It is definitely a New Years to remember. In the last 5 years we've had countless dinner parties, holiday dinners, relaxed nights with friends and many play dates!
The biggest memories of course have been bringing our babies home. Preparing the nursery. Day dreaming of what they would be like. And the sweet memories of their newborn days. Learning what it meant to get up before 8am. Babies scooting across the floor, jumping in the doorway jumper, swinging on the back porch swing, countless rounds of hide and seek, dancing in the kitchen, and bedtime snuggles. Of course, I could go on and on. These walls have been so warm and cozy. These walls have also seen some heartbreak. My heart aches a little bit as we leave the place that kept us safe during the time of loosing Christine. She will always be in our hearts but her memories are with this house. This is a big goodbye for me.
I feel so fortunate that we have these amazing photographs that our realtor had professionally taken for the listing. We worked so hard to get this house ready to show well. A huge thanks to Tim parents for all their help with power washing, touch up painting and watching the kids while we cleaned the place up. These pictures definitely show our house off at its best and the hard work paid off when we got the offer we hoped for the first weekend. I am so glad we have these photos to look back on.
Though I will shed a few tears at we say goodbye to this house, I am so excited to create new exciting memories in our new house in Leesburg!
