Moving Took Five Days

When we left, the moon was so beautiful illuminating the road
as we said goodbye to this chapter of our lives

Good grief.

Glory day! We finished a bit after midnight with the final floor mopped! What a journey! This isn't the END, it's really just the BEGINNING! What a process to buy the house, close the deal, paint the entire interior and actually execute the move. It took a lot of help from friends and family and many, many hours, but we DID IT!

At dusk, the kids and I took a last walk around the property, which was bittersweet for me. We've had a good 2+ years here. A lot has happened relationally in our family and we'll miss this beautiful spot. We have loved living here and are so grateful for the experience. We know there's a lot of good to come, so I keep my eyes looking forward.

I get so much from blogging. I really enjoy processing the happenings of life this way. And we all love looking back and, if only for a moment, reliving some memories. Even the hard parts are somewhat enjoyable to revisit for a glimpse at the past. We were all SO DONE at midnight on Monday, we were tired and hungry and just tired some more. Moving is hard and taxing on so many levels, I'm so glad we're done!
