We are so excited about our new home, but I have to admit, I was surprised at how sad I was to leave the O'Hanlon house. When I walked through the empty house the night before our closing, I remembered how proud we were the day we signed the papers and moved in. Our life together really started in that house--a dental practice, a dog, being a care-free couple who could come home to a place of our own but then take off and travel at drop of a hat, bringing home our two beautiful baby girls, making new friendships and nurturing the old friendships. We did a lot of growing (up :)) on O'Hanlon Drive. What a wonderful first home!
When I walked in the new house though, I knew immediatly that this was our "forever house." I looked up at the staircase and envisioned our girls walking down those stairs on their first days of school, first dates, their graduation days, their wedding days, etc. Heck, I even thought the backyard might be just the place for a wedding someday (Travis is rolling his eyes now). What's the first rule of real estate... don't get emotional, right?!?!
So, we're off and running making new memories in the new house as of just a few weeks ago. I'd be remiss not say a big, public "thank you" to Aunt Kelly, Uncle Bymer and cousins Trey and Lily for letting us "crash" in their attic for almost ten days while we were between homes!
With all that being said, come see us!
