On the Move....Again!

Some of you may already know that we are packing up to move again. This time we're not going so far...only 2 miles away, but still, moving is moving and it makes me a little crazy. At the same time, we have so much to be thankful for in this move. Yes, we are moving from a 4 bedroom house to a 2 bedroom apartment. Yes, we are giving up a fenced back yard and attached garage. I think I will miss a few things. But here just a few precious things that I won't have to miss:

  • Snuggling with my kids on the couch when they first wake up in the morning while I finish my bible reading with a cup of coffee.
  • Being the one to drop off and pick up Roy when he starts Kindergarten.
  • Making homemade dinner so that we can eat at the table together every night.
  • Watching the boys create a million little "dudes" and ships and whatever strikes their imagination with their million little legos.
  • Answering 100,000 questions throughout the day...many of which I'd like to answer, "Because I said so," but instead I try to think of the reasons "Why."
I could add more, but I'm off to clean up the house to show it to new potential renters. I am looking at it with new eyes....eyes that ask, "Would I want to live here?" The answer to that question will forever be, "Sure, if I can get a cleaning lady!" Bo promises me that nothing will change when we move into smaller space even though I keep dreaming that it will somehow be "easier" to clean. I'll keep you posted on that.

And I'll tell you more about our new place and our new job (as Apartment Managers) when we get settled in.

Ta ta for now.
