Goodbye Sweet First House

Today I said good-bye to a dear friend, my first home. Not my first ever home (that will be an even sadder day in the life of Jessica), but the first home I owned all by myself...with a little help from the folks. As the purpose of this blog I am moving on to bigger and better things...getting married and moving back to the area I grew up. So with that comes the selling of my home in College Station.

In the two short years I have owned you little house we have shared many a memory. We've had some really great times: Getting Bear and Rosie, Nicholas graduating, Getting Engaged!, Engagement Party, Nicholas getting a job and many more.

And we have had some really bad times: Little Ruby passing away, Getting a new roof, Nick losing his Aggie Ring in the back yard, Getting a new hot water heater, and the "Jedi Rat" experience. You were my first real experience of being an adult and independent. Sure I lived in apartments, had my own car, but you taught me that home ownership is not only fun and rewarding but hard and stressful.

I had so much fun decorating you (with the help of my Mom, of course - And I think she is even more heart-broken then I am). I loved trying to squeeze multiple people into your tiny space for parties, showers, and dinners (parking was always a concern).


I will remember you fondly and I can only hope my next house with my future husband leaves me with the same wonderful memories you have. I hope the new owner loves you just as much as I have!
