Moving

Trying to sell or rent our home

There are a lot of things about moving that are difficult. The paperwork, coordination and phone calls being number one. And of course saying goodbye to those you love. Some people have a harder time than others. Some people look at it like it is forever. I have always said and still believe that is harder to be the one that is left behind. When someone moves, they leave one life behind and start a new one. It doesn't mean that you won't be back, or still don't want to communicate on a regular basis. Some people that you leave behind even take it personally. I am experiencing this right now as I get ready to move next month. I can tell that people try to act happy for you but are genuinely sad, and sort of give you the cold shoulder. I am happy and sad at the same time. It is hard for me to believe that we will be leaving in a few short weeks. I have so much to do that I haven't thought about the emotional attachment I have here. I am starting over.. I have to make a new circle of friends, help the kids find new friends, find a new church, schools, Dr's etc. The life I knew and was very comfortable to me is coming to a screeching halt. I have done it before, so it is not scary. It is just time consuming and emotional. I am thrilled for David that he has found a new job that he absolutely loves and can grow with for years to come. He supports our family and I will always stand behind his choices for us. I just hope in the days to come, that people would realize that they are not the only ones being left. This is hard on our family too, but also a very exciting time in our life.
