Our house is officially on the market. That's right, we are moving! (Well, hopefully). Now seems like a great time to buy, and with Nate's new job, the timing feels right. But, it is bittersweet.
We have loved this little house. Every square inch has been painted, sanded, tiled, updated. It has been a labor of love. I have learned so much about myself, and about Nate in all of these remodeling projects. There have been disagreements, tears, laughter, fun, cuts and bruises, all within the walls of this home.
I find myself becoming attached to this place. After all, it is our first home. It represents a huge step on our lives, a place where I feel like I became a "real" adult. A place where I have nestled into my role as mommy.
Not to get too sappy, but I have to remind myself that it isn't the house that makes this place so special. It is the people in it and the memories we are creating. Someone new will live in this place and make it their own, just like we have.
The idea of moving is exciting and stressful at the same time, all jumbled up into the pit of my stomach. Thankfully I have level-headed Nate to remind me (like he did last night) that it will all happen in God's perfect timing. Wish us luck!
