Julie and I live in a two bedroom small condo. She is selling it so we can move to a three bedroom moderate condo. We feel with an extra bedroom we could let one of our kids visit or when our friend Steve Pniewski comes to town we can offer him a real bed in a real room. Lately, when Steve visits he uses the blowup bed with Star Wars sheets (bought for Julie's seven year old nephew) and sleeps in the living room. It's not perfect, but it works for now. We also would like a little more room to share entertaining friends and family. We both enjoy celebrating life! We work so hard that sometimes we forget to "live." So if we had a little bigger place those celebrations would be easier and more doable.
This little home has been the restaurant, park, theater, stage for so many parties and gatherings over the last four years. We celebrated Allison's 30th birthday, Valentines Day, Meet the Parents Day, Kentucky Derby Day, Mother's Day, Thanksgivings, Christmases, birthdays for nieces, nephews and siblings.
Not once did this home complain. She was so happy to be filled with love. She has given her all with only a 1000 square feet. For that, Julie and I are eternally grateful. We will never forget this friend.
When all the furniture is moved out and we are standing by the front door to lock it for the last time, we will say a very quiet "Thank You."
