Hazel Street

We're embarking on this new journey of buying a house and while all I want to do is run from our old house straight to he new one and put dishes in the dishwasher, I can't help but be a little sad.

This is where I came home to live when I packed up Hurley and left everything I knew almost 7 years ago.  It's small and lacks a dishwasher.  The laundry is in the unfinished basement and there is no room for a growing family.  But it was my home.

This is where Kiel & I first moved in together.  This is where we started our family, bringing our baby boy for his first night home.  Where we lived when we got engaged and married...where we had our biggest disagreements.  This house has seen everything. 

I will miss only cleaning 1 toilet.  I will miss having a landlord to take care of everything, including bringing our garbage cans in on garbage day.  Jase will miss the porch where he loved to play.  He will ask to go "home" often, but eventually he'll realize he's already home.  

We will make new memories in our new home and it will become our new safe place, but this little house on the corner of Hazel & Polk will always have a special place in my heart.
