Our official last day in our little town was a sad one for me. The Uhaul was packed…<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"IMG_4760\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

And while The Hubby and his helper went to Spokane to unload our boxes, the kids and I went out to enjoy ourselves for one last outing since our house was pretty empty.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_4766\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"IMG_4768\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

I realized I forgot to keep a few things out for our last night when it was a bit too late, including Gwyn’s jammies and a pillow for The Hubby. We compromised.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_4769\"<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>\"IMG_4773\"<\/p>\n

The next morning we woke up and met our best friends for a little “see you later” breakfast. These two have become Gwyn and I’s closest friends and I will forever cherish what they have given us over the past three or so years.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"IMG_4776\"<\/a> \"IMG_4775\"<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"IMG_4777\"\u00a0\"IMG_4774\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I was holding up pretty well so far, surprisingly well, until we were doing the last walk-through at the house.<\/p>\n

The Hubby and I spent a couple HOURS putting this little tree up in Gwyn’s room before she was born. I didn’t have the heart to take it down and hope the little girl who uses this room keeps it up, too.<\/p>\n

\"photo\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

I then went out back and walked around a little bit before I noticed how well the garden that I never water is doing. My first real garden. I hope the new renters like home-grown veggies and that they carve the pumpkins that seem to be doing well for Halloween.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"image<\/a>\u00a0\"IMG_4726\"\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My heart sank when I saw the sandbox built by The Hubby and his dad for Gwyn’s first birthday. It was then I noticed the faint and torn ribbon still tied around the trunk of the tree from her first birthday party. And I cried.<\/p>\n

\"image<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Since Cal was already in the car, Gwyn and I took one last picture in front of our favorite apple tree.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

And before we pulled away, a couple more friends came to say goodbye.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_4779\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

And as I pulled away from our first home, about to follow The Hubby to our new home, I lost it.<\/p>\n

I broke \u00a0down.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4785\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s just so hard to say goodbye to so many memories.<\/p>\n

The drive to our new home was dreary. It was a rainy day, which I took as a sign.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"image<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

And after we arrived in our new home and unloaded the last of our belongings, we hopped back in the car to pick up some pizza.<\/p>\n

And you know what I spotted out my window as we left the pizza shop?<\/p>\n

This guy. In this shirt.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_4786\"<\/a>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Just okay, huh?<\/p>\n

Clearly, another sign.<\/p>\n

The very next morning, guess what we woke up to?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_4810\"<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A nice, “Welcome to the neighborhood.”<\/p>\n

We later found \u00a0out another neighbor a few houses down got hit too, so it wasn’t a personal attack.<\/p>\n

But still…. a sign….<\/p>\n

I am looking at this new adventure with a positive spin, but it just isn’t starting off very well. Here’s to hoping it picks up, stat!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
