I just wanted to share with the blogging world this last picture taken at MY HOME, my growing up home. I lived at this house longer than any of my siblings and so I feel especially attached, more attached than I thought I would be. When it came down to driving away last Sunday, tears flowed because I knew that going back would never be the same. I would never drive down that dirt road and pull up in the driveway, get out, walk inside and see my parents there. Someone else will live there now and hopefully make memories like I did. What a crazy feeling, for both Tyson and I, to say goodbye to this house. We had most of our many "MOMENTS" here. Our first date began as he asked me to Prom on this doorstep. Our first kiss was on this doorstep. The first time we talked about getting married was on this doorstep. Only to name a few. Now, there I stood, saying goodbye, on this same doorstep, knowing that it will never be mine again. I am thankful for memories. Love you Mom and Dad. Thanks for staying there for so long, even though it wasn't what you both wanted. I am grateful because if we had not lived there, I would not be married to the wonderful man I am today. Good luck as you venture on to another house in a far away land!

wow-I almost just shed a tear myself. We had so many great sleepovers there. And do you remember choreographing to "Kiss from a Rose" in the dining room? I heard that song just the other day and I laughed because I can still remember some of the moves :) Was that really like 10 years ago? Oh my goodness-have that many years gone by? I just got the chills-that is crazy! Good luck to your mom and dad in Germany and I hope that their house sells quickly so they don't have to worry about it. It was great to see you in Utah...I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Tyson to get one of those internships he interviewed for. Wow-a new little smith girl will be here by then! Hooray!
this makes me want to cry! I love your parents lots and I'm really going to miss them. They provided such a great home and it is sad to see it all moving away
Sad! I know my parent's will eventually move too, and I can't imagine not being able to come home to the house that I grew up in!
