Well we closed on the sale of our home in Michigan today. it was very bitter sweet but also a huge relief. No more double payments of rent and mortgage. That was a big strain on our budget this past year. Boy was I glad to sign those papers and be done with the whole business. The people who bought are house are as helpless as little babies. They even went so far as to ask us to light the pilot light on the water heater! UM, how about NO! Really? I mean come on! I'm no Norm Abrahms but even I know how to do that.
Anyway, I was happy and sad to get rid of the house. It was our first house. We had our first child there. Sofie took her first steps there. It was the first place we figured out how to be parents. We hosted our first Thanksgiving as a family there. The list could go on but you get the picture. Fortunately, I am such a crazy person with a camera that we captured many of these firsts on film. But time moves on and now we can think about other things besides the care and maintenance of a house that is 1300 miles from where we actually live.
So yes it's bitter sweet but time moves on and things change and that is ok.

This blog is a way for me to share the ups and downs of being a parent and to give me a place to vent about the frustrations of raising a child. It is also a place to chronicle all the fun times and little miracles of parenthood.
