Bye Bye Childhood Home.

Word is officially out. My parents bought a new house and sold their current house today! They started looking not too long ago and weren't even sure if they were really going to do it, but they did. I shall let my mom share her own story about it all though.

They've always talked about moving when my dad retires, but ended up deciding that now was the time. They're still saying in the Cedar Rapids area. Somewhere out in Marion...of course they couldn't move just a little closer to us, instead they choose a house an extra 10-15 away. Ha ha!

I have to admit, when mom told me that they were starting the search process, a part of me didn't think they would really do it. I've always been sad thinking of them selling my childhood home. We moved there when I was six and a half. Now after listening to my mom talk about how everything has fallen into place, I'm really excited for them!

I can't believe I'll never set foot in my old house again though. Their moving process will be a fast one. They have to be moved by December 18th! I told my mom I was kind of sad about it, but at the same time it's a good thing. I get highly emotional and it's probably better for me not to see the house empty. I mean...I still cry when I see Monica's empty apartment on the last episode of FRIENDS, and I've seen it a million times! I told her she could say goodbye and cry for me. She promised that she would.

There are lots of memories in that house. Maybe I'll write a post about some of them soon when I have time. I'll miss it though!



Tomorrow is my official due date...come on little man!
