Movin' On Up

The day is finally arriving!

We are movin' on up!  After almost thirteen years of living in one city (that is a record for me), we are moving from the big city to a small town.  

We are currently a stones throw from family on all sides.  We live in an older home in an established neighborhood.  We are a short drive to any major retailer.  And we are moving!

The excitement in the house is electrifying!  This is the only house our youngest child has ever lived in and the only house our middle child remembers.  To our oldest child, a move is just a part of life in our family.  As I have packed up everything that I did not deem unnecessary, our youngest child has been underfoot and she has enjoyed "packing up for new house."


We are moving from a city with over 71,000 in population to a town just under 1,500 people.  My husband and I are very pendulum type people, we are one extreme or the other, never in the middle.  We either go big city or small town.  We are looking forward to the small town!

We are moving to a newer home, bigger home, land on our property as far as the eye can see.  We will not live in a neighborhood, and we are about a thirty minute drive from any major retailer.  Our children will be attending a new school.  Family while not as close as they are right now, will be accessible via a nice drive.  We will be in a different zip code, yep, we are all grown up!

I have a lot of memories in the house we are in now, some good, some bad.  I look forward to leaving the bad memories at the house we live in now and bringing the happy memories with us.

This will be a BIG life change for us, and with that I have been in a lot of prayer, because of course change brings you into a new season.

- We are entering into a season of rest.  We have been non-stop people for the past few years, now we are entering a season of rest to rejuvenate and enjoy a calmer pace.  Who knows how long this season will last.  We are not known as a family who rests easily!

- Our new home is sacred.  While still having our southern hospitality, we will be protecting the sacredness of our abode.  

This will be our "forever home" until we leave the state we currently reside in.  It feels good to lay roots in one state and know that for however long, this is ours!
