Well, it's been a little while since I've written much of anything... and I don't honestly feel like I have much to say now, I just really don't want to get out of the habit or writing somewhate frequently.
I'm going home tomorrow. I'm very excited to go home - it's going to be an interesting trip!!! It's not really a vacation- it's going to be an emotional roller coaster!
Why is it that saying goodbye to a house is so hard? It's just sad.
Is home really where the heart is? Is that it?
If that's the case, my heart quite possibly is still there as well- and I'm scared it will end up feeling somewhat homeless.
Can the heart move-in somewhere it will have known for a couple a days before flying off again? A smaller place, not meant for it?
Don't get me wrong - I know that I will have my room and my place in that house. I know that if I wanted/needed to I could run back there any second- but can this house be my home?
I suppose it will just take longer then usual??

See- emotion. Told ya.
Friday night will be the last I spend it what is left of my house.
The house that I threw a hissy fit in the first time I saw it.
The house that I had two rooms in.
The house that gave me my best friend as a roommate for a summer!
The house in which I said goodbye to my puppies.
The house my brother came home to after getting baptized.
The house that hosted my graduation party.
The house of favorite Christmases, game nights, movie nights.
The house with the room that comforted me during heartache and where I went when I couldn't contain my excitement.
The house in which I left home for the first time.
The house that I came Home to for the first time.
I barely remember who I was before this house - I was a kid.
I guess, it's the house I became, well, not a kid in!

I could go on.... for a very long time, but I won't.
I learned to love this house because of the home we've made it.
I'm glad my parents will be free from the stress it's causes- and that I will never have to park in that horrid driveway again! : )

367 Pleasant St..... you were great. See you soon, even if just for a while!!

  2. ... That just depressed the junk out of me. Wow I miss that house. And, similarly to the point of your post, I don't miss it because of the physical house it was, but because of the home it was... :(
