And to sell while you were there after being on the market a WEEK! OMG. That's great... what a relief.<br /><br />But still, the memories.<br /><br />I love that your parents were like mine and kept a lot of great things from your childhood that make for great stories and memories.<br /><br />Those glasses are a hoot!<br /><br />I'm soooo sorry that it's no longer in your life and it is just a house, but still. :(Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224578567273119115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-44910249440498843242013-04-22T22:01:42.484-05:002013-04-22T22:01:42.484-05:00LOVE all the pics. I'm serious that I think we...LOVE all the pics. I'm serious that I think we girls should get together and laugh over old diaries someday. Mine are SO embarrassing, too, but hey, if everyone's sharing ... ;) <br /><br />So glad you could go back one last time - can't imagine you not being able to after so many years living there! Very bittersweet, for sure, but hopefully your parents will be very happy in Colorado, and you will continue to make beautiful memories in your own home. Just think, someday you may have lived in your current house longer than you did in that house! <br /><br />Always so fun to travel down memory lane - that's so awesome that your mom was so good about keeping things!!

My parents are also trying to sell their house in JC, so they can move closer to us, but I never lived there, so its not the same as what you're going through. I'm glad you got to say goodbye!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01323424716651507031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-8684732578386152542013-04-19T21:05:16.844-05:002013-04-19T21:05:16.844-05:00Oh lady I know.

We already lived in Calgary so my wedding night was the last night I ever spent in my house. When we left for the airport for our honeymoon. I cried and cried. Even a the airport I was still crying. John thought people would think I was forced into marrying him!<br /><br />But my mom's new house still feels like home to me. Even though I've never lived there. It smells like my old house did and it's full of love.

I, however, did not go back for one last look. I hadn't lived at home in eight years, and I wanted to remember it as I had when I was a child. Rowan never got to see it since she was just days old when they moved here. I will always/still think of that house at "home" too, even though I like that they live two minutes away now.

My parents sold the house...Oh, I know this feeling. My parents sold the house I grew up in when I was 19. I still tear up, thinking about walking around the empty house on our last day there. Everything down to the windowsill where I used to sit and talk on the phone for hours turned me into a blubbering mess. My folks have moved twice since. Thankfully, it's a one-time kind of pain. Hang in there, and keep making memories with the people you love. They're the best part of any house.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08160737553805716755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-47463316746379562042013-04-19T14:30:07.797-05:002013-04-19T14:30:07.797-05:00"Today is Michael's bday.

Man oh man. <br /><br />This post totally made me tear up and not only is it not my home, but I don't even really have a childhood home like that (we lived in several when I was growing up, not just one). But so exciting that it sold so quickly and CO will bring lots of new memories. :)Kristalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13844262891800455616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-47510329755697072812013-04-19T12:33:42.278-05:002013-04-19T12:33:42.278-05:00Love all the old diaries!

Growing up as a military kid (aka someone who moves all the time) I have like 3-5 things from my childhood aside from photos and that's it. How special for you that you have these keepsakes that you can share with your kids!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
