You Say Goodbye and I Say Hello

Goodbye awful smelling hallway EVERY time I came home from work. Seriously. Did it have to smell EVERY day?

Goodbye burst of cold water in the shower every morning when our neighbor turned on his shower.

Goodbye freaky woman in the basement.

Goodbye having to park on Lyndale at the risk of getting your mirror hit by cars driving too close.

BUT

Goodbye living right next door to pizza Luce

Goodbye not having to shovel or rake

Goodbye not having to do our own repairs

Goodbye our first place together

Goodbye apartment we loved

Goodbye 34



Hello having to pay for heat.

Hello having to shovel and rake, amongst many other up-keep responsibilities

Hello being tied down to something

Hello many many more (and bigger) bills

BUT

Hello much more space

Hello deck AND porch!

Hello space for pinball machines

Hello sidewalk and yard

HELLO GARAGE!

Hello garden

Hello kitchen with enough room for more than one person

Hello first house
