Today is the "Day"

October 5, 2013

Today is the big day, the day we close on our Springhill house.  This is so bittersweet, because we love this house and made it our home.  When we got married we lived in our small, cozy little house on Garfield that I had bought prior to meeting Dan.  After Dan graduated from MSU we bought our Springhill house, that was our first house together as a married couple.  We did so much to this house, hardwood flooring, light fixtures, paint..... we made it our home that reflected us.  We brought Holt home from the hospital to his new nursery that we had spent so many hours fixing up and finding just the right pieces to work that customized it to him and all his little needs.  We can't wait one day to take him back there and show him where he came home to and where he was born.  

  I know they say that when you put your house for sale you should detach from it, that's a lot easier said than done.  This house has so many memories.  We loved our neighborhood and our neighbors.  We had block parties, which is where we met our best friends, annual Halloween parties, casual Sunday football get togethers and we knew if we ever needed anything, someone was always there to help.  

  Dan's parents came down to keep Holt last weekend so that Dan and I could clean everything one last time before we closed, so the new owners would have a nice clean house to move into.  I hope that when they walk in, given they've only seen the house via Skype, that they fall just as much in love with it as we where.
