It's hard to distance yourself from your home, even though it's just walls and a floor and some paint... but really it's more than that. If it were just Dan and me, I don't think it would be as weird... but having a baby and now a kid in the house with you, it changes everything.<br /><br />Also: I don't think I've ever seen the pictures of Alexis's room!

I didn't think I was attached to the place until I peeked over her balcony to look at my former yard. I got all teary eyed. The new owner (also a young single guy) kept the yard art that I had left. He also was maintaining my cats gravesite. It's been two years since I left. I think that is so kind of him. <br /><br />Good luck in your new home.<br /><br />PattiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30765699.post-38148084208482918452009-06-26T08:43:40.597-04:002009-06-26T08:43:40.597-04:00@Jen--I still drive by our old house, and when we ...@Jen--I still drive by our old house, and when we were last in Akron, we went by our house there, too.Burgh Babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09123901504643963583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30765699.post-62851184403243629872009-06-26T08:16:17.506-04:002009-06-26T08:16:17.506-04:00I'm glad that you wrote about those memories. ...I'm glad that you wrote about those memories.
