In about 9 hours the uhaul will be here and we will be officially moving. It's such a mixture of emotions. This house has been our home for so long - we signed the papers the week before our wedding and came right here after the honeymoon... This is the house that we brought both of our babies home to... These are the rooms were they had their first foods, their first steps, their first manys... This is where we read stories at bedtime, where we hosted Thanksgiving Dinner for far more people than actually fit in the house, where we started and grew our business. Tomorrow all these memories will become a little more distant.
The new house is exciting though - so much potential. There will be more firsts for the kids, just not baby ones. There will be bike riding and cartwheels in the backyard. The rooms will be full of math homework and slumber parties and sibling arguments.
It's unbelievably sad for me to say goodbye to a physical structure that holds so many precious moments of our lives. Tomorrow night I am sure that I will be full of the excitement that the new house brings, but for now I have to sigh, weep a little and continue packing for the long nine mile journey to our next home.

Home is not the structure, it is the family inside it. I hope the new house feels like home very soon. ;)
