New meaning..

Well there is now new meaning and deeper understanding when I read the phrase "the great and dreadful day" I had always read that and understood what it meant but had never really felt it. Until today that is...It finally happened, we sold our house. After 138 days on the market we got a bite. I got a call from our realtor early in the morning letting us know that we had an offer, and after 8 hours of negotiating we finally came to an agreement.




There it is, our wonderful and charming home. I think this is the first home that Todd and I actually felt like we could live there forever. We are truly going to miss it. We are very lucky to have had the opportunity to live in such wonderful area. We are going to miss mid afternoon calls from Britt across the street letting me know Hunter has done something new and exciting, our Thursday night parties full of dinner, dessert, and of course the Greys Anatomy and Office drama. We are going to miss the dog socials with the dogs across the street, and fabulous food cooked by Miss Margie and the "manly" activities Doug walked Todd through. The deer and turkey just wondering through the area. Jen and Harrison outside playing. We are going to miss it all very much. We are thankful for that period in our life and the friends we met and along the way. But time doesnt stop moving and we are here in Utah now and are looking forward to the next chapter. So today has shed all new light on the phrase "great and dreadful".

Oh Brit! We miss you so much. It makes me incredibly sad to think that somebody else will be taking the place of you and Todd in the neighborhood. Nobody will be as great and wonderful. Hunter can't wait to see you and give you a big dino hug! We love you guys!
