Another chapter... Closed
I am always very emotional about moving from one location to another. Sugarhouse has been our home for the majority of our married life, and its hard to say good-bye! I have loved this area and ALL of its quirkiness, with my whole heart. I have loved and hated this apt, we have had A LOT of ups and downs here. But most importantly, this is the home where we became a family, Coasten was born here! I have loved my calling as YW 1st counselor in my ward, those girls have taught me so much more than I could have EVER taught them. I have loved my neighbors, the Parkers, the Blaneys, the Rices, even all of the strange but very nice ones, I will miss our once a month Mommy Munchy Lunch. I have never felt unsafe here, and I know that this was were we needed to be for the last 16 months. I dont like saying good-bye, I get very attached to a place that we have made memories in. Leaving this home is the hardest yet. Over the past week I have noticed Coasten behaving a little different than usual, pacing back and forth and following me everywhere I go. I am sure he senses that something is going on, wondering why cupboards are no longer packed full with the dishes he plays with, and boxes being scattered throughout! Coasten knows this house in its entirety, and it will be hard for me to walk him out for the last time, never returning. I dont want him to be scared and wonder why we are not going back home! So for now Sugarhouse, farewell! This chapter in our lives may be closed, but in 1 more year we shall start another one.

Oh you still have a standing invite to the mommy munchy lunches! You don't get off the hook that easy :) We are going to miss you guys so much! We have loved having you as neighbors and friends and fellow wardies! Good luck with all the things you have going on right now! Sometimes it is hard to be a grown up ... so just know you can come "get away" to my house any time you need a break from responsibility! :)
ReplyDeleteI remember feeling the same way when we moved sold our first house, you do grow emotionally attached to a place when you build great memories there. It is funnythough now when we drive past our old house (we have to pass it to get to my parents.) We just laugh and think we are so happy we are in our new house (hopefully you will feel the same!)
ReplyDeleteaww shana, we will miss you!! it was great having you here! have an adventure, and good luck for your new place.... love, kenya
ReplyDeleteMoving can be so hard but I'm sure you'll end up loving your new place just as much. Where are you guys headed? Tell Nate hi! We haven't seen you guys forever. :)
