There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often found in traveling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position, and be bruised in a new place. ~Washington Irving

Moving On

There it is.

That lonely feeling that always comes as you take apart your life and put it away into boxes, preparing to say farewell to a familiar place and hello to a stranger. Of course, that stranger (aka our new house) is just 15 minutes down the road, but still.

Will the new house smell weird, make weird sounds, have weird neighbors? I don't know the new house yet. Once again, I'm going to confuse my children and have them wonder, "Where is home?"

I hope it is the right decision for us; the right house. Only time will tell. At least it will get a happy start with Maddox's 3rd birthday party, which is set to go down in about 4 weeks. It will take time to turn that house into a home, and I will miss many things about this place I'm leaving behind, but I have faith that we'll find happy times there.
