1408 Thibodeaux

Selling a house gives time for reflection, saying good bye to the past and anticipating the future. A few months ago I sold my home of 10 years, 1408 Thibodeaux. The bitter sweet transaction left me feeling a bit empty, longing for those memories that seemed to have slipped away far too quickly. But don't get me wrong, for I am not depressed and I have little desire to relive what has already occurred. What lies ahead is an amazing life in a new home with my husband, children and trusted pets. New memories will be collected and cherished. Nevertheless, I can't help to recollect all which has passed while living at 1408 Thibodeaux.

Through the past 10 years, we have overcome losses of family - funny sweet Nina, Grandma Ta, Grandma Costar and the ever so strong Grandpa Graven (our hearts will always ache for them). However, it is those bonds and the strength of our family which has given us our backbone and have molded us into who we are today.



Through the years, 1408 Thibodeaux has watched inches become feet, maturity develop, love lost, love found, sickness, health, much laughter shared.....



The years have seen friendships come and go, with each friend making the good times a little better and the bad times not so bad....


1408 Thibodeaux kept everything in tact while we traveled to Mexico, Jamaica, Ireland, Spain, Malaysia, London, Florida, NYC, LA, Oregon, Arizona, Utah, Nevada.... the list is long. Though we enjoyed our journeys, we always welcomed coming home even more.


Within the walls of 1408 Thibodeaux are 10 years of happy stories and endless memories forever cherished in our hearts. The house was good to us. The house kept us safe and warm. So as I closed the front door for the final time and placed the house keys into a small envelope, I said a prayer for the next family and a silent good bye to my trusted friend, 1408 Thibodeaux.
