I totally get it....i bought my first house in 1998 and sold it years later when i re-married in 2006. Leaving that home of mine was bittersweet, my friend....i was excited for my future but all of my college and adult (so far!) memories were in my home. You are so very right....memories live in our hearts and go with us where ever we go.<br /><br />Best of luck....and i hope you'll keep posting often!~Isabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437976653688457847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968022325149168758.post-39157235299454297292014-09-04T18:43:54.432-07:002014-09-04T18:43:54.432-07:00I am so sentimental, I still get sappy when I thin...I am so sentimental, I still get sappy when I think about my first apartment. I can only imagine how I would feel moving from my house. There would be a lot of mixed feelings, especially if I had neighbors like ya'll do. But you are right, the memories are in your hearts and they will be with you both wherever you go. I have no doubt that you & Dave are going to settle in and start nesting and have a new homey home in no time. I wish I was there to toast ya'll and say "To following your dreams" :clinking glasses: Love you! <br /><br />P.S. This is so off-topic but I thought about you today when I read this article. I remember how Rainey used to like to chew on things and then I thought at least she never swallowed things. http://www.foxnews.com/health/2014/09/04/surgery-on-ailing-great-dane-yields-43-12-socks/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968022325149168758.post-86857934986373035392014-09-01T21:07:24.018-07:002014-09-01T21:07:24.018-07:00I cannot begin to imagine what it is like to move ...I cannot begin to imagine what it is like to move from your HOME. It's not just a house, you made it a home with love and LIVED in it. There was so much life and love in that home. I can't begin to think of what it must be like to say goodbye to it. I know your new house will quickly become a new home, filled with life and love. Like Dixie said, you will be happy wherever you plant yourselves. But I can only imagine that you are leaving a bit of yourselves behind in your first home. That part of your life is over. That chapter has ended and now it's a new chapter, full of blank pages, waiting to be written, waiting to be lived and loved and to know the whirlwind that is the Hodder Hurricane. <br /><br />I love you and can't wait to come see you in your new dream house. And listen to music. And test out your intercoms just for fun. And run up and down the steps of your new house. Someday. Or is it some day? At one point in my life I will see your new house with all of the love and living that is swirling around in it. I don't know how and I don't know when but that is added to the bucket list, a more doable bucket list :) Maybe after the first of the year we'll sit down and see what's what. Maybe in a year. Maybe in two years. But we will have a conversation and set up something. That I know. Who knows, maybe they have a Thai restaurant with ginormous forks too!!!! <br /><br />Love you bunches my stripes obsessed quack! And I can't WAIT to see photos of the new house after you have turned it into your home!!!! <br /><br />Cameohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04815107970059019435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968022325149168758.post-60545007678769792132014-09-01T11:15:41.845-07:002014-09-01T11:15:41.845-07:00I loved (!!!) your Roseville home. If I were a tad...I loved (!!!) your Roseville home. If I were a tad younger, I would have bought it and moved in a heartbeat. I know how much you love that neighborhood and those neighbors, but I know you're heading in the right direction...to the land that you love. I know you're the kind of person that would be happy wherever you plant yourselves, but I'm so happy for both you and Dave that you're going to live in the part of California where your hearts sing. I'm so happy for you that I don't have the words to express it.<br /><br />XOXO<br />DixieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
