We got this table at Dingo's Furniture store in Freeport, Texas about 17 years ago. After having been married for about 3 years and when Tori was about 1 year old, it was our first major furniture purchase. It left our house this past Saturday morning to become a great table for another family.
If I've counted correctly, it has been moved with us 7 times. Isn't that the number of completion or something?
We've shared many a meal as a family and with friends around this table. We've called many "Stunz family meetings" to this table. A lot of homework has been done at this table over the years. A lot of tears have been shed at this table as well as a lot of laughter. It has staged a host of super cute birthday cakes and party foods for after dance parties and holidays. Oh, and we've played a ton of games with friends and family around this table where mostly girls won. Ok, maybe we tied......
Among many other things, it has also served as a craft project table and even had Tori's baby footprints etched into it from a project we did when she was a baby where the chemicals from the paint leaked through the fabric. Those footprints have long since worn off and we are left with only memories.
It is time for a new table to help us bring in this new chapter in our lives. Once we move to Singapore, we're hoping to purchase a new and grand dining table with some authentic Asian inspiration that will be a cherished addition for our family for years to come.
But for now, we have a fold out table and a few card table chairs. What an accurate picture of our transitional life right now.
Good-bye table. Parting is such sweet sorrow. You will be missed! (and replaced) :)
