We Sold Our First House

Friday we ended another chapter in our lives. We packed up some more boxes and furniture and loaded up the U-Haul one last time. We said goodbye to our neighbours, Candice and her children, as well as Chloe. They had been great friends over the time that we lived there and will be greatly missed. It was a day of mixed feelings. We were relieved that we sold the house so quickly. The house wasn't even listed on the market when the first couple looked at it put in an offer. However it was also a day of sadness. This was the first house we had ever owned and a lot of great memories were made in it; Tyler took his first steps in the living room and said his first words. It was difficult saying goodbye to this place we made a home, but we knew in the beginning that we couldn't stay forever, such is our life in the military. We signed the closing papers Friday afternoon and congratulated the new owners happiness in their new home. They too, are first time buyers and the wife is pregnant with their first child, so there are lots of firsts to continued to be made in this home. Another chapter has ended in the Smith Family, but another one begins...
