Today my hubby watched the movers pack my beloved home in Virginia to move all of our stuff to Texas. I feel so sad. I was so connected to that home. I never thought of writing a letter. Very cute.<br/><br/>Kim Oh I love this post. Today my hubby watched the movers pack my beloved home in Virginia to move all of our stuff to Texas. I feel so sad. I was so connected to that home.

We also have our place on the market - six days rocks! I pray that Sophie Marie (how elegant is her name? Sigh...ours is more of a Jim Bob, okay not really, LOL) is blessed into the hands of loving new owners. I saw the photos of your too-awesome kitchen over at Mrs. Wilt's place - just had to stop by and say hello to the mind behind such a beautiful home!<br/><br/>Have a wonderful weekend, chickie! Emily,

I could have written one of those for my first little crackerbox of a house. All 5 of us in the 975 square feet, and I loved it!!!<br/><br/>This one though, I will skip out of and not look back. Not that it hasn't served us well, just that I don't love it.<br/><br/>I hope the next one is as sweet as your new one... I love everything about it- well, everything you've done so far anyway :) I love your tribute to your ‘old’ house. I could have written one of those for my first little crackerbox of a house.

She WAS too small. I guess we could have made her work (3 bedrooms...the twins share a room anyway). But the man is a youth pastor and to have teenagers over and mom and dad visit from out of town...well, there wasn't a lot of extra room.<br/><br/>2. We wanted to be on a different side of town. We love Sophies side of town, we just don't really "do life" over here anymore. <br/><br/>3. Ever since my sister The Nester moved from this neighborhood to another city, its been a bit lonely round these parts. I know this alone isn't really enough to move. But it kind of is.<br/><br/>Why did I just write a novel about that? There are several reasons we had to sell Sophie.

3. Ever since my sister The Nester moved from this neighborhood to another city, its been a bit lonely round these parts. I know this alone isn’t really enough to move. But it kind of is.

Why did I just write a novel about that?

She has made me want to move from SC to NC to try to put in a higher bid than the other person. Never mind that we just built a new house and we would have no jobs or friends where you are. By the way, I L-O-V-E the white frames on your wall. That grouping looks amazing!! I hope your new owners will love you as much as your current Mom does. Have a good life!! Sophie Marie-
