where we go from here
we're moving.
in my last post i talked about wanting a new space, which in my head when i typed those words meant just a new blogging space, but why stop there.
our house is sold and the fun has ensued. bubble wrap, boxes, black sharpies, packaging tape and decisions fill our rooms. donation trucks have come and gone. sold has been written on our once loved items.
notes are everywhere reminding us what we have to do. who has to be called. what has to be changed.
this is our fifteenth move in thirty years, so obviously we can do this. but this time it's different. we aren't moving as a family, since the kids are on their own and we aren't moving into a house. instead we'll be renting for a year, as everything happened so quickly.
then what? my insurance agent asked me. "i don't know" i told her. "exciting isn't it?"
so the next few weeks will be busy. busier than busy. but our daughter will be home thursday and that will be the wonderful creamy icing on our {holy cow so many changes} cake.

Wow! How exciting to have this well earned freedom and be together with your honey to experience it all!!!
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you!
Send me an email with the deets when you can!
Love ya!
So much excitement...I'm so happy for you Beth. Thinking of you lots, I'll be in touch a bit later (mid-may?). Hugs, and courage for this brand new start of an amazing journey sure to follow xoxo
ReplyDeleteWow how exciting. May all the pieces fall into place easily. Hope you are moving somewhere where the sunshines (and my preference where no snow falls!).
ReplyDeleteSooooooo excited for you! YAY!
ReplyDeleteWow, beth! Enjoy your visit with your daughter, and best to you and your hubby on this exciting new adventure. Kath
ReplyDeleteI was going to say wow also..Cannot wait to hear the details. Staying in the same area? woo hoo
ReplyDeleteExciting times as you pack up and move on to new adventures. Keep us informed about where you move to and what you are up to.
ReplyDeleteFun times! Good luck to you and enjoy the ride :)
ReplyDeleteI know where you're headed. I just moved but it was only a small apartment. Still, it was my home. I did it all...Goodwill, donations, giving things to family and friends. Thought I'm in a beautiful country different country I really get homesick. My bi-polar disorder must be carefully watched and medicated so I don't get off balance. The move was hard on me and I didn't rest through it all. Take care of yourself, Beth. You have your loved ones with you. That makes a big difference. xo Jenny
ReplyDeleteVery exciting times indeed. I imagine what you're going through ... we will be there too, sometime in the next two to three years. Outta here, baby! And I.Can't.Wait. Anxious to hear about your next chapter and how it unravels. Best to you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Big time moving -- I just helped friends with their moving sale; hard work. But I suppose when you have done it a lot, each time is a little easier! Enjoy it -- well, once you get a break!
ReplyDeletehere's hoping for a smooth moving experience and to enjoying your new place you call home... hope you also enjoy your daughter's visit... have a great day~
ReplyDeleteWait...what? Was not expecting that as I've been waiting on a blog redesign. This is huge. Hope all goes very smoothly for you.
ReplyDeleteWOW~ exciting!.. where are you going?.... and absolutely none of our business. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis really IS exciting! Such a lot of work but like you said, you're pretty much of an expert by now. But yes, this one will be different. * sigh *
ReplyDeleteWow! How completely exciting for you!
ReplyDeleteOk, nothing original to say that hasn't been said.... But I look forward to hearing about your adventure as it unfolds :-)
ReplyDeleteAhhh- this is why we adore you so. Embracing adventure, change, newness, etc. with such open arms- truly admirable!
ReplyDeletewith eyes wide open, the heart willing and lots of love to hold it altogether step into you next adventure ~
ReplyDelete"Holy cow" is right. I hope you are enjoying your daughter home right this very minute and with many hugs.
ReplyDeleteThere is something exciting about moving. We rented for awhile before we bought the house we are in, that
leaves you wide open for new adventures. Happy adventuring and enjoy! Now I look above and see similar
words written by others. Yes, adventure is the word.
Wow! I guess after 15 moves in 30 years, one more isn't such a biggie. But I'm sure it's different without your kiddos moving with you. So will you stay in that area, or are you heading south? I can't wait to find out where this new adventure takes you!
