We finally closed on the house and by we I mean my Mom and Dad drove to Butte to do the closing for us. Thanks again Mom and Dad! It's kind of weird that we don't own the house anymore. I'm extremely glad we don't have the financial burden anymore or the upkeep or all the things that caused stress from owning a home thousands of miles away. I'm sad, however, because we had to many memories in this place and put so much work in to it. I'm sad that I'll never get to see it just the way we envisioned it would some day be. Now that's someone else's dream. I just need to remind myself that it's only a house and one day we'll have another one. But one does grown attached to things. I just need to keep reminding myself of all the projects that still needed to be done, the money that needed to be spent on those projects and the fact that I never wanted to spend my life in Butte; when I remember these things it's not so hard. So farewell our blue house in Butte may you give the new owners as much joy as you gave us.

It's Finally Gone

Awww!!! loving reading your blog!!!
Isn't it hard!?! It doesn't get better until you finally find a new home that makes you just as happy.. at least I think we will be just as happy at another home. You're right that it is nice to think of all the crap you didn't want to do to the home and all the crap you didn't like about the home! Glad it finally closed for you!

I remember the day you bought Avery from the hospital to the blue house (though it wasn't blue then), and all the afternoons I got to spend with her. We put alot of miles on her stroller walking around downtown Butte. What fun it was picking her up at Debbie's and stopping at Town Talk for donuts on the way home. Of course walks to Dairy Queen for icecream cones were fun(and messy) too.
Wonderful memories that I will never forget.
One thing about it Lacy, its just a house, YOU, Jeff and Avery made it a home! Just as you will make your next house a great home and we will all come visit you! Maybe closer too!
