Congratulations! It will feel great when that first check arrives. But I'd probably feel a bit sad, too. I'm sentimental about our past homes, be they our first house we sold or our three earlier apartments. Memories.

We have lived there for 7 years so all the kids were born there (well not THERE but ykwim) and I think that had something to do with it.

Olivia's eyes got really big when we went into her old room on the walk through. Like she remembered it. lol
