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.

  9. I 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

  11. Congratulations! 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!

  20. "Holy cow" is right. I hope you are enjoying your daughter home right this very minute and with many hugs.
    There 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.

  21. 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!
