Moving Day is Nearly Here!

It's with mixed emotions that I await tomorrow. Excitement, anxiety, sadness, and uncertainty.

I have never done well with change. In fact, I really really really hate change. I have done better as I have gotten older, but unless I'm completely for it, it's incredibly difficult. As a child, I got upset when we got a new car and proceeded to lock myself in the old one. I also hated when I used to flip the song transparences for the overhead projector at church, and they moved it up on the platform by 5 feet. It was different, and I didn't like it. I also get extremely attached to inanimate objects. Which may go hand in hand with pack-rat nature.

I am excited to move into a new house. I will have more space, Zoe will have her own room and now have to share with the computer anymore. I am really looking forward to having a yard, and to have a full-size washer and dryer as opposed to my apartment sized stackable set. Let's face it, shiny new appliances are sexy.

I'm anxious because tomorrow is the big move day, and I have to realize I might not be able to control everything the way I want to. Things may get done in a way that I had not originally planned, and I have to be okay with that! Although, if they get horrible messed up, someone is getting maimed!

My biggest sadness will be not being seconds away from my sisters. Specifically Shelley as we do so much together. With the girls being 2.5 mo apart, its going to be weird not to just walk down the hall and say hi. We are constantly helping one another out, whether its to borrow an egg, a kitchen utensil, to run down and check a phone number on one another's caller ID. I've been able to drop off Zoe while I quickly run out. It's been amazing, and I dont think I can fathom how much I'm going to miss that. Of course we are still going to spend tons of time together, but it just wont be quite so easy to stop by and bake a cake or show her something momentarily. It was wonderful being able to get together for a sister scrapbooking night and all we had to do was leave our front door! I am just going to miss that so much.

This has been my home for the last 6 years. James & I bought it 6 years ago in January. It's our first home together. It's Zoe's first home. We've had leaky condos, and constant fire alarms in the first couple of years. We also ripped out all of the pink carpet and replaced it with tile and laminate!

I'll miss having a parkade that is always a consistent temperature. I'll miss being able to throw out as much garbage as I want as there is no limit on the dumpster. But I will 100% absolutely not miss smelling my neighbours smoking cigarettes and pot!!!!

Well, its off to bed, to have one more sleep in my wonderful home. It's a big day tomorrow.
