Saying Goodbye

Well our 2014 started off with a bittersweet goodbye. We got the news in November that my parents would be moving to Oregon to be close to my grandparents. Of course it is great that they will be nearby to help and to see all of the West Coast family. But it was a hard and sad goodbye for the rest of us here in Texas.

We were able to do one last birthday dinner for my Mom before they left.

Then on a 34 degree evening, we said our kind of random teary, sad, teeth-chattering goodbye in the parking lot of Pappadeaux.

I will say it is quite surreal that they are gone and not at this house anymore. We moved into the house my sophomore year of high school. So I technically didn't live there for a really long time, but it's been my parent's house my entire "grown up" life and the only one my kids have known for Mimi & Grandpa. We'll miss all of the Thanksgivings, Christmases, Easter egg hunts, and hours and hours of swimming fun that have happened here.
