THIS HOUSE. OUR HOUSE IS OFFICIALLY ON THE MARKET.

IT FEELS LIKE IT WAS JUST YESTERDAY THAT WE WERE MOVING ALL OF OUR BELONGINGS FROM A TINY APARTMENT IN WAUWATOSA, WI TO THIS BEAST OF A TOWN HOME IN MADISON. I FONDLY RECALL JEFF'S INITIAL REACTION TO ITS SIZE SUGGESTING WE PURCHASE WALKIE TALKIES.
(ALMOST) FIVE YEARS LATER, WE ARE BUSTING AT THE SEAMS AND ARE FACING YET ANOTHER MOVE.
I AM TRULY GRATEFUL FOR THIS HOME, WHICH HAS SHELTERED US THROUGH FIVE YEARS OF RESIDENCY, WELCOMED HOME TWO TINY BUNDLES OF JOY, PROVIDED US WITH JUST ENOUGH ROOM TO ENTERTAIN, AND OFFERED A PEACEFUL ENVIRONMENT TO ENJOY LIFE AS A FAMILY OF TWO, THEN THREE, AND FINALLY FOUR.
IT SADDENS ME TO THINK OF THE LAST TIME WE WILL DRIVE DOWN OUR STREET LEAVING 8280 STARR GRASS DRIVE BEHIND.
I cried reading this. I love your home. What I love best about it is what you mention here...how far you have come while it provided you the shelter you needed. It will be so hard to leave, but just think of all the blessings :).
