a big step

As excited as we were for buying a house

and leaving the trashy neighbors
who not only let their kiddos play in the parking lot
but have the audacity to defend their parking lot playing rights 
     Seriously, if someone in a motorized vehicle is yelling at your kids to get out of the way
     maybe you should too
     instead of declaring, how dare you yell at my children?!?!

And having a space to make our own
goodbye faux wood trim that's really made of plastic
goodbye linoleum that has been super glued to the floor (with not so super glue)
goodbye condo association that hates nature
     love my dusty miller plant that over wintered for 3 straight years
who cares if you're a bit gangly at the edges
and of course I dug up a bit to bring to our home

We took a moment to say goodbye to our first place

where we fought
     over dishes, and vacuuming and a certain someone's ridiculously busy winter schedule
where we dreamed
     of awesome vacations and future homes and our lives together
 where we settled into ourselves and our relationship


Closing a chapter in our lives
Goodbye Apartment
Helloooooo awesome new house!
