Five years ago today…

… We bade farewell to the house we lived in for twelve years. Our first house. Our practice house. The one we put an awful lot of work into, learning it all as we went.

Finished packing the last few things into the giant twenty-six-foot U-Haul and our little RAV4. It was sunny, then it rained. A dark, cold rain to which we were only too excited to also bid farewell. Fired up the U-Haul in the driveway. Slowly, pulled out for the last time.

Farewell little house. You were good to us. But we had outgrown you. It was time to move on, closer to the mountains, where we chose to live.
