Cool Cucumber

As many of you already know, Rob and I are going to be moving at the end of July to the downtown area of Colorado Springs.  We’ve dreamed of moving into a charming neighborhood with big trees for some time now!  We are also selling our townhouse at the end of the month, leaving behind a lot of good memories in the process.  When I bought this place, I was a first-year teacher still figuring out how to balance it all, and I remember all the parents in my classroom chipping in for a very generous gift card to Bed Bath & Beyond at the end of the school year.  I felt so grown-up!

I took some photos of the townhouse when I first moved in, then took photos from the same angle in May.  I love looking through these pictures because I can see aspects of my life that have drastically changed during the past five years.  Here are the 2003 and 2008 photos for your enjoyment!

It’s been fun living our first two years of marriage in this small space, but we’re ready to move on!
