I really had no idea, but it really is always hard to say goodbye. Especially to a house that's been your home for the last 22 years of your life, and especially to a neighborhood that's more than that...it's a family. It was emotional, it was exciting, it was just hard. I have so many memories in this home. Some of them from childhood, and some of them from me and Caleb's first adventures in our own life together.
Goodbye pink room. This used to be everyone in my family's bedroom at some point or another. Lots of memories here. It was the first room in the house we re-did when we found out we were having Adelynn. This is the room we brought her home from the hospital to. And then it was the room we brought Emi home to.
Goodbye Green room. We re-did this room as a family together when we found out we were pregnant with Emersyn. Adi got to move into this when sister came home to the pink room. This was also my parents room when we were little. I remember sneaking into this room at night to get my legs rubbed from Mom when I had growing pains. I remember my brothers jumping out of this window in the summer.
Goodbye measurements and memories from our childhood. This wall was a little heartbreaking to leave. If you can see, it's measurements from members of our family throughout the years.
Goodbye pine tree that we used to jump over when we were little.

Goodbye Locust tree that we planted as children.
Goodbye kitchen that I re-did last summer. It was fun and rough. But we'll miss the memories of that kitchen. Family do you remember the "line"? Stay behind the line! haha.
Goodbye living room that has been the home to many laughs and family love. Always a place of gathering, the walls in this living room could tell some stories!
Goodbye little blue house in Ucon. You've been a perfect home. I can't even begin to describe the emotions of sadness I feel to have left you. Left Ucon. Left friends.
But we're off to a new adventure. And we're excited. And we miss you Ucon. Goodbye.

I'm going to miss that house too! I totally remember the line! I was just telling someone about it not to long ago! Lol.
Gotta say, I got a little teary-eyed reading this! It is so hard leaving your childhood home. Especially after living in it with your new family. I don't know what the latter is like. But is sure is hard to move away. I hope you guys are enjoying your new place and the new city! Can't wait to see pictures!
Thanks for putting those picturs up. I know Cory really enjoyed seeing the house a last time! Now onto the new adventure!
Aww... that was a sweet little post. I felt the exact same way when we moved to Az.
But, I'm excited to see your new home & all of the great things you'll do to it!
What an exciting adventure!
By the way, totally curious about "the line".
I'm so glad you took some pictures of the house! I need copies of those. So many memories. It makes me a little sad we can't go back...but what great memories and we are happy to have you here in Boise!
Wow. I never realized you spent that much time in the same house! I'm sure it was hard to leave, but how nice to make some new memories. You should have done a before and after post of your kitchen. I remember hearing about all the changes that went into the kitchen from Mom and Maria when they were helping you remodel it. It sounded like you all did a lot of work on it. It looks really nice.
Good luck in Boise and in creating a whole bunch of great new memories!
Your in-laws are amazing :) to have done so much for you when you were getting ready to move. Moving is so hard when you have to do it on your own and pregnant (I was 9-months pregnant when we moved into our house). It must have been such a relief knowing they were there to help. Good luck in Boise!
That would be really hard. I'm excited for your little family and your new adventure.
sigh, I wish we could have seen you one more time before you left, but in reality it is probably better that we didnt. I don't think I could have handled it well. Hope you're getting settled, or finding a place to get settled soon!
SAD! It's like loosing my childhood home too since I spent so much time there! I hope your enjoying Boise & that you're felling better! Love you & miss you lots!
How did I miss this post? I'm getting so behind on blogs. That whole post is so sad!! How hard that must have been!! I can't imagine saying goodbye to all those memories. But at least we do have them as memories, right? BTW- I miss you!
Good luck in your new adventures!
