Packing up our house and moving it all up to Portland was a lot of work. While we were loading up the trucks I was so stressed and busy that I didn't get emotional or sad.
Bria helping Grandpa take her crib apart.
Schuyler and Brian working hard.
But once the house was empty and we drove away, I got teary eyed.
goodbye to our very first house, a place we made home
goodbye to the place we became parents in, where we rocked our baby girl night after night
goodbye to our wonderful neighbors who made this a great neighborhood to live in
i know a house is nothing but wood nailed together with a roof thrown over it, but this house holds so many wonderful memories and i'm sad to say goodbye.
but with this goodbye comes a new season of our lives and we pray it's another good one.
Clearly Bria is having fun in our new place :)
So I will take her lead. Our new place has been very nice the past week and a half and I think we're gonna like it here. Brian's work is literally 5 minutes away, it is so close. Close enough that he has been biking to work and it takes him 9 minutes door to door. I can't tell you how wonderful this has been, we've had lunch with him and dinner as a family. I absolutely love having him work close by.

I can only imagine how nostalgic leaving your first house is. I'm so very happy that you are enjoying making a new home and having Brian working so close!
I'm glad the new place is working out, but it's so natural to miss the old place. Good luck over the next few months!
