New Home, Old Home

It seems like a distant memory, so much has happened since we moved to CT from Waverly. So much has happened in the time between then and now, that I don't know where to begin. We rented in Noank, moved in temporarily with my parents, rented in Groton Long Point...Looked and looked for a new home...Fionna grew, Max and Sweep got older and greyer, I got older and greyer...Sold a car, bought a new car, quit an old job, got new jobs. My dad was sick, but lived to tell about it. A hurricane brought lots of destruction to our second home in Keene, NY - we got away lucky, only having to completely rip out and redo the basement. Ran a my first marathon. I never posted to the blog because I'm not so sure I want to have a clear memory of the last 2 years. I want to remember to good times, and while I want to remember the not so good times too, I want the edges to be blunter and a little blurry.

So, we didn't sell Waverly...and ended up renting it to a long-term tenant. Its a tough experience to let someone live in your house that doesn't care about it the way you do. As much as its a business decision, it felt deeply personal at times and as Nate can tell you, was an emotional land mine. The house is back on the market now and we are looking forward to not having to look backwards at where we used to live. I'll keep the good memories of our time there in my heart, but we are moving on. We have moved on.
