So I am trying really hard to get used to the thought of living somewhere different. At least twice a day we go to "the new house." And I love walking across the little steps from the carport to the front door. I love that there is a glass/screen door, I love that I have a key and I can walk in whenever I want. I love that I get to make that home mine. It is weird though. I have walked up 23 steps (I think that is how many there are) to our apartment pretty much everyday (somedays I don't leave) for almost 3 years. I brought my little boys home from the hospital here, I learned how to be a stay at home mom here. Tyson and I have had spitting competitions off the balcony and watched fireworks, jets, sunsets, and thunderstorms hundreds of times. I will miss looking out the window and seeing Leo and Ethnie making faces at Josh. I will miss running over to Becca's for no reason except that I need to get out of the house. It will be weird not hearing Gentry's video games and Christy singing or giggling. I will really miss our warm summer evening talks with anyone and everyone that is roaming around outside. It will be weird to have someone else live here. There are a lot of things I am really excited about, but it feels weird to abandon the home we have made and make a new one somewhere else. It is like those empty nests you find in a tree, or fallen on the ground. Some bird worked so hard making it, sometimes with little scraps of the randomest things, and then when they don't need it, they just...move on.
awww spam. That is pretty crazy to start over in a new house...that's all your own. Sometimes I think about how weird it will be to not live in my basement, but it's cool to wonder where we'll be next. So it's a good thing you know where you're going! You're house is perfect for you though, I can see you guys in it already. You have a great way of making your place a home super fast, i've always felt very comfortable in your apartments. I'm excited for you! I'm sorry I forgot to come visit you after YW tonight, I hope painting went good! I'll come see you tomorrow
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kenni, your house suits you! So you already started painting? I can't wait to see pictures!
ReplyDeleteI will also miss you coming over...and me coming over there, for that matter. :) I'll miss not being able to send Ethnie over to get some eggs. We'll miss you most of all!
ReplyDeleteMoving is often bittersweet, enjoy the bitter and the sweet. We are excited for you guys, can't wait to see more pictures.
