682 - My Home

So my parents moved this past weekend. They moved from the home that I grew up in. I never knew how emotionally attached I could be to a house. There are so many good memories that I have and I'm so sad to say goodbye to the house but so happy for my parents to be living in a nice new house. Some might say that I'm crazy to be so sad about it but I loved that house. I loved the smells and how my mom made it feel so homey. I loved every room in the house. I loved the backyard because it was so big and private. I loved the front yard especially in the summer because my mom always has the prettiest flowers and its so peaceful on a summer evening. I loved how my parents decorated at Christmas time with all the lights. I loved how there was no rain gutters so anytime it rained or snow melted you would get soaked when you went in the front door. I loved that it had a swamp cooler and kept the house freezing especially in the kitchen. I loved jumping out the kitchen window onto the trampoline. I loved sleeping out back on the trampoline. I loved the old creeks in the floor and the green bathtub and toilet. I loved the doorbell because it was so loud. I loved how when you turn the hot water on its instantly hot and you don't have to wait forever. I loved that my mom grew up in that house and I love the memories I have of going to visit my grandpa in the house. I love the location and before all the new development came in I loved to play in the dikes by the house. I loved my pink carpet in my room and playing barbies in my awesome barbie house until I was like 14. I loved the living room because it was so peaceful and so nice to just sit and relax in there. I loved the red carpet in my parents bedroom. I loved the brown sink in the kitchen. I love the fact that it was built in the 70's and still has so many old features. I loved the curb outside that had a big dip that was a perfect jump for our bikes. I loved all of the Christmas's, birthdays, and all of the other big events we had in that house. I love that my parents got engaged in that house. I love that every year up until last year we all slept in the same room for Christmas and we always sat on the stairs for a picture before we went down to open presents. I loved that it didn't have a sprinkler system so almost every summer night if you wanted to go in the front door you'd get soaked by the sprinkler. I loved the little bathroom by the kitchen and that the door handle had a certain twist to it and people who didn't know about it would get stuck in there. I loved the mirror in the bathroom because it made me look skinnier. I love the steps in the backyard and the little hill thats by them. I loved my house the most at Christmas time because my mom and dad decorated it so cute. I remember when I was little I would always fake sick the day after we got the Christmas tree so I could watch my mom decorate. I loved the laundry room because it had the most comfortable couch and for some reason it was so relaxing in there. I loved the neighborhood that I grew up in and that my two best friends Jodee and Jessica were so close. I just love that house and I really am going to miss it. I'm glad I have so many fun memories and I look forward to the memories I'll make in my parents new home.
