*cry*
Friday the 19th was our last day in our house. I was VERY emotional all day; I think it's because of all the memories we have made there cause I certainly didn't get emotional when we moved there from our last home!
We spent the day packing a few last things and taking them to my grandma's. In the evening, I made sure I went in each and every room and thought about good times in that space. (am I corny?) Max's room was the most difficult for me, of course.
We got a few pics of us while the house was completely empty and clean... one of Max lying on the floor where his bed was, one of the two of us kissing in the spot where I first sat when we brought him home from the hospital, one of Max and Chris pretending to color on the desk in Max's toy room, and so on. We are soooooo sentimental, aren't we? I know some of you are saying "gag me" right now! ha ha!
The very saddest part of the day was the nighttime... we hung around to eat some cake with the neighbors (it was Drew's 3rd bday and we wanted to celebrate too!) and when it was dark I told Max to "tell the kids we'll see you soon!" and he literally broke down! Crying and kicking and screaming and saying he doesn't want to move! Tears poured down my face, I felt terrible! He was soooo upset! The crying lasted for a loooong time! Luckily, we had a "moving present" waiting for him at my grandma's, where we're living the next three months. Once he saw his boy doll from Barbie and the Diamond Castle he was happy again. Today he even referred to our "old" house as "Kate's house"... she is the little girl who moved in. I thought that was surprising!
So here we are... unofficially homeless I guess, since my grandma is kind enough to share her home with us. I think it'll be a while before I can even drive by our "old" house again; last night was just too sad for me. We loved our time there... it is so sad for me to even look at these pictures!!
