Friday night at 4 p.m. we said goodbye to a dear friend-our house.
Our home in Chadron treated us well and was perfect for us. It was the first home we ever bought and we will miss it terribly. We bought the house the same week that Lucy was born. In the time we spent in that home we went through the life challenges of health (an appendix, broken leg, and countless colds), family (visits with grandparents, a miscarriage, and a new baby), and weather (hailstorms, tornadoes and wildfires).
We started our chocolate parties in this home and cultivated our first garden. We dealt with burst pipes, and routine home repairs and even upgraded the dishwasher, remodeled a bathroom and did some demolition. We will truly miss our large kitchen, square footage, fully wired entertainment room, cool basement
and FABULOUS backyard.
We hope that the new owners can love the house as much a we did. We hope that they will be able to enjoy the grapes, elderberries and the apples, too. We will miss you home!

That's cool that you got a rainbow behind your house! Pefect photo to remember all those good times.
Awwww, and if houses could talk yours would be boohooing, too. Boy do we miss you!!!
Brittany and James--You really capture well, and express well, your feelings in this post.
It is sometimes hard to move on in life when we're directed to do so. I had similar feelings about our home in Connecticut; it was large and attractive and surrounded by lovely trees and vegetation. I, like you, was asked to move and accept the new job and home. As you know, it's always for our best good though at the time we don't know how or why.
Love, Dad
