Less than a year ago....

Less than a year ago, we were looking for a house to buy, and had already seen the house we would eventually pick.

....

This year we've been at it again.  Not buying a house, but finding a new house to live in, and starting to pack boxes.

It's so bizarre.  When we bought this house, we knew the possibility of it not lasting long, but I'm think I wanted to not believe that.  I wanted to be set for a few more years.  The Realtor told us to think of this as our 'starter house', that we'd be here for 5 years or so.

When all is said and done, we'll have been here one year.

Sigh.

I'm a bit sad.  Partially because I had all these plans in my head for gardens, patios, parties, organized office space, re-done kitchen, hosting clients, etc.... and while I've done a few updates [okay, really all I've done is paint a few rooms that I thought needed it so the house mostly matched itself], it's sad those dreams won't manifest.  And I know that's how things work.  Some things come to fruition and some don't.  I'm still going to be a bit sad about it though.

So here's the the new people that will live in this amazing wonderful house.  Lucky.
