Moving isn't easy...

Our Wonderful Garden
The New Bathroom- The tub was a great craigslist find- tear

We have begun the process of moving and I am a mix of emotions. I am happy for my husband's new opportunity and happy to move to a town that I love, but quite sad that I am leaving this house and this area. I have spent 6 years in this house and have had both my boys here, one literally in the living room!! I have bought my furniture with this house in mind. I put up the clothes line in this house and we toiled in this garden for 6 years trying to perfect it. Now, just like that we get to start over. It is funny how life throws you these changes. I think it is a reflection of who you are if you can deal with them well and with grace. I of course, had a total melt down yesterday and balled like a baby. I have to admit that is was both cathartic and cleansing and I am now much better because of it. I just kept telling myself that these things around me are just that, things. True home is where your family is. I will miss the friends and neighbors we have become close to more than anything, but again, luckily we will not be that far away so we will be able to come back for visits. I am letting myself ride the wave of life while pausing to reflect on each moment as it crests and falls only to build again. I have loved my time here and know I will love my time in the future as well. I want to send love and giant hugs to anyone who has gone through a move lately. I now feel we are bonded through these emotions. Especially, when you have small kids and are trying to pick the best environment for them. Please fill me in on your coping methods for any large moves you have been through. I saw yesterday that a homeopathic remedy for distressed emotions is yling-yling or frankincense. I will be buying both of these this week and placing them in my diffusers!
