Bye Bye Connecticut

No matter how badly you want to leave somewhere, there are always some mixed feelings. Today we are leaving CT for good, and although we are so excited to get established in VA, this was Shannon's first house, and our first home together. Lot's of great memories here. It's funny how years from now when we'll go to tell a story, we'll precede it with "Back when we were living in Connecticut..."

Here is the place where we fell in love, dreamed up a vineyard, got engaged, sought and earned career advancements, travelled all around, lost a Grandma, got married, endured the frustrations of remodeling, and enjoyed the final results. Here was our first Christmas together, and the place where we hosted our first Thanksgiving dinner. Too many firsts to list!

Seems like we're caught in a whirlwind right now, and many of the memories are buried beneath the craziness of the move, but I think that in the years to come, we'll look back fondly on our time here - if for no other reason than to remember it as the place where two lives came together and were forever joined. Whatever hardships we've endured over the past two years will fade with the passage of time, and the love and laughter will live on.

So to 152 Vista Terrace we say "Thank You. Good Luck. Goodbye."
