A Chapter Ends
Well, today was the day. Mom, Dad, and I were in extreme move-out mode, since Dad wanted to get back across the Turnpike before dark, so we got the last of my stuff loaded up within about five hours. I would have liked to have stayed a little while longer in Blacksburg, to give myself a little bit of time to transition... but perhaps it's better this way. I'll be back in a few weeks to help Gina move in, anyway, so I can hang out more then.
It was with a bittersweet feeling that I loaded the last box in the trailer and looked at the bare room that had been my home for the better part of four years. But, I do know it will be in good hands next year, and every era has to end sometime. Besides all that, I'm really beginning to look forward to starting a brand new chapter soon.
All good things must come to an end sometime, but I know there are lots more good things ahead for me.
It just doesn't feel right, does it? Not to have a "home" in Blacksburg any more? I know I miss the lair.

You're exactly right, Ev, it feels pretty weird to not have a home away from home at the moment. My keychain feels decidedly lighter, too, having given up all those keys.
I hope all is well with you in your new digs!
sniff, sniff....:O( First Lloyd...and then AmyE...and now Bret....gone....sniff.... :O(
But!! You will have happy times in your new BretCave in NOVA...you will be with all the kiddies up there, so no sad. Now you can start the Bretman and Otey chapter!
