Beginning of the End

Today we said a tearful good-bye to our house. As of tomorrow they are tearing down our house so that we can build a new one on the same site. It was sad to go through our house that has no furniture, lights, toys, beds, or anything that would make it ours, left in it. Even the front door is missing (we saved that for our new house). We feel that this is the right decision for us but it is still hard to say good-bye after 10 1/2 years of living here. It was hard to see Logan cry for the only house that he has ever had. Ashton and Maren don't really realize what is going on and tend to think that it is strange that we are living at Grandma and Grandpa's house next door. But overall we are in good spirits as tomorrow and demolition day approach.

My mom and dad threw us a surprise party to celebrate our new house. Instead of a "Bob the Builder" party it was a "Chelsea the Contractor" party, since I am doing the contractor work on our new house. It was a very fun party and a big surprise.
