When I pulled in the driveway on Wednesday, there it was... the for sale sign in my front yard, right there in the middle. I thought it would be a feeling of pure joy when I saw it. The beginning of a new future. In reality, it was bitter sweet. Excitement over the future, mixed in with sadness over what I'll be leaving behind. This is the house my kids have grown up in. Where I sat on the front porch and watched them ride their bikes down the street. Each year getting further and further away until the year when they rode off with their friends and no longer needed me to sit outside and protect them. Now I watch them get in the car and drive away. In this house we went from training wheels to car tires. I know that a new house and a new town will bring all new memories and the old ones will never be forgotten but it will definitely be hard to walk away from our home.
