Good morning! It’s been a while… Like… since EASTER!! How did that happen?
We’ve been in a crazy place lately. We bought a house! We sold a house! We’ve moved! I’ve visited North Carolina and Texas and I’ve had company and am expecting company!
It’s been a crazy few months. Packing, unpacking, cleaning, decluttering, letting go…
It was hard leaving our previous home. It was the longest I’ve ever lived anywhere in my life. 13 years… My youngest was 11 when we moved in and my oldest was 15. So many memories made there…
But new memories will be made in our new home, memories with our grand babies! He’s coming to visit soon!! I can’t wait! We wanted a little bit larger home so all the grand babies (I will have a few more, I know it!) would have lots of room to play! Hopefully we have that now!
I can already see so many memories being made in our new kitchen… baking Christmas cookies! Sharing pancakes or cinnamon rolls… just cooking together, playing together.
I loved our other backyard. It was huge but not all that pretty… our new yard? It didn’t seem all that big at first but now that the fence is up… I LOVE IT! As I look out over it from the deck it seems so big. The dogs love it. I envision a little more landscaping… maybe another tree or two… some bushes… some stepping stones… I’d love a little secret garden out there. I get excited when I think about it but I have no idea how to do any of it! Lol hopefully next year we will be more settled and have time to figure it out.
I’m still unpacking… I have so much to go thru and let go of and so much to put away. It’s fun but tiring. It can be sad too. I keep reminding myself that the memories are in me, not in the “stuff”. Letting go of “stuff” won’t remove the memories.
I love our new home. I feel so comfortable here. It immediately felt like home. I have a hard time wanting to leave it… for anything! The grocery store, restaurants… I just want to stay in my home all the time.
I still have so much to do but I don’t have to do it all at once. We are taking our time, at least I’m trying to get it done but not at the detriment of my health. Lol My back aches, my hips hurt, my feet are killing me so it’s slow work but I am enjoying it.
Until next time… ❤️
