Several weeks ago I came home on a Saturday afternoon and asked Devin what he had been up to while I was gone. He then told me that he had posted his fish tank on KSL to sell it. What??? I know I have teased and teased him for the longest time about the fish, but why did the thought of selling the fish make me sad? Perhaps it was the recent thought of our little Anna standing by the fish tank and saying, "fishy fishy." I did have the peace of mind that perhaps it would take a while for the tank to sell. By Friday afternoon last week the fish were gone....on their way to Idaho infact. Yup, some lady in Idaho bought the tank and fish and all. I was gone all day, so I missed the whole process of packing up the fish. It was sad to come home and have that big empty space along the wall. Ben helped Devin move our little piano there so it doesn't look as strange. (We need to fix the picture still.) I've decided this is why I don't like having pets. At some point they either die or have to go away. How silly that I got so attached to the fish! It will be nice to not have to take time to feed them or clean the tank. But still...I miss the fish.

Bye fishies! I hope they like their new owner.
Sometimes it is hard to say goodbye...even to little friends that live in a big glass box and swim their lives away.
I will miss you tonight at the temple. Still weird that you are not there with us anymore.
That would have been interesting to see the fish tank AND fish all get packed up and sent to Idaho. If you miss the fish too much, you can come over and see ours.
Ah look what marriage does to men and their fish. Frank had to give up his man cave, Zeus chair, and fish tank when our baby was born. Poor guys!
