Home is wherever I'm with you.
~ Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros
Amelia is a fan of the song 'Home' and requests to listen to in the car All-The-Time, she also knows almost every word! This weekend as we travelled around Graham and I both, almost simultaneously noted that this song totally relates to our family...home is wherever we are together because we are officially homeless.
It was so bittersweet leaving our old house last week. There were so many great things about the house and the location but in the end it just didn't suit our family anymore. Of all the homes in our 10 years of marriage this was our longest dwelling, 6 years! As we finished cleaning Mr.P and I were both getting all sentimental thinking about all of the things that happened to our fam while we lived there. We feel good about the move and even in this current state of limbo, as we wait for our new house to be ready we know it will be worth it in the end!!!!
We had one last family pic and made a poster for the people moving in, letting them know about all the awesome aspects of the home.
We will miss:
* the tree out front in the spring
* the view out the back
* a lovely yard with minimal maintenance
* a kitchen filled with light from the morning sun
* great neighbors
* a covered front porch perfect for painting with water, eating Popsicles or writing with chalk...all while being protected from the sun or rain
* the cute bunnies that periodically visit our street

So while we hang out with generous family members who have opened their homes to us we will chose to be positive and try to stay cool as we live out of suitcases and rubbermaid bins ahhhh! BTW I have only had one breakdown that resulted in tears, not bad I say.
Oh moving!
