A Sad Goodbye to Snohomish

We sold our house in Snohomish. We've been trying to sell it for more than 3 years.  Funny thing ... when you give it away, everyone wants it.

It cost us alot of money, and it comes bittersweet. Selling this house will get my husband home from Iraq...

This house is where we became a family, and where we brought baby Ripley home.

It's where my son grew and became a man.  Here are his height marks on the wall.

Selling this house is a huge weight removed from us.  I feel like "we held on till the bottom".  We kept saving to pay the difference, but it was sinking faster than we could save. 

It finally took a good turn of Biotech to help us.

I'm saddened to lose my connection to Snohomish.  To lose the house that is 2 miles from my sister, and 10 miles from my brother.  Hopefully as I no longer make these payments I will come to appreciate it more.

Or

Maybe I'll just go buy an MDX to make myself feel better.  :-)
