moving on
A house, turned into our home...then turned over to someone else.
Yep, we moved!
We've been in our home for seven years and decided it was time for a change so we sold our home located at the end of Lines Lane.
I'd like to say it was no big deal, but I can't. It was a BIG deal. To my surprise on "moving day" I learned just how attached I've become to this place.
As the movers carried out the last load of boxes, I found myself standing in this big empty house and reality hit. We're really moving! I suddenly felt a flood of emotions all at once.
I was excited about the new house we would make home. Although our life wouldn't change dramatically I felt a little anxiety about the unknown. My heart ached as I thought about the ward I was leaving behind. A ward full of people I've grown to love. Teachers, leaders and friends who have contributed in strengthening, enriching and making each member of our family a little better.
As I scanned the room one last time my eyes fixed on the big picture window located in the family room. As I peered into the backyard (one of our most favorite places) a smile swept across my face as I thought of our "family time" out there. Sitting in a big circle while playing UNO cards on the trampoline, an afternoon family swim, a family night of basketball or volleyball on the sports court, setting up the tent and piling in with our flashlights. Suddenly I realized just how much I'd miss this place.
Before leaving I returned to my closet where many prayers have been offered and I thanked my Heavenly Father for this house that held so many precious memories.
As anyone who has experienced it knows, moving to a new home can be exciting. I'm excited!
