REELING!!!!!
I put the house on the market last Friday and yesterday had a good offer. The negotiation is not quite over, but I am pretty sure it will be a done deal. I am REELING with the thought of moving after 27 years in the same home. We raised our children here---this is the only house my grands have ever known---I have loved the critters and hated the critters---I have dug in the dirt--blown the leaves---walked every foot of almost 5 acres for a LONG time. When you walk in the door, there is the familiar smell of thousands of fires that have burned and as I walk through the house there is the familiar echo of babies/children's/teens/and finally adults that have filled the rooms with love and laughter for a long time. I have driven down a dark drive many a morning heading out for a run-only to return in the glory of the morning dawn beaming through the trees. I have looked out my kitchen window through the trees at the familiar sunset more times than I can remember. I am reeling---

Where are you moving????
TX is a mighty big place!!!
I have always LOVED your house!! But, home is not a house...it's a feeling. Wherever you end up, it will become your home. Love you!
Your house is in a lovely setting, and you've put so much of your self and your energy into it. I can understand why you'd feel off-balance when you think of leaving it. I wish things were different for you.
I feel the pain in this post and I can only imagine how you are feeling. When we left our home in IL....where I had marked Josh's height on the wall from the age of 18 months up til age 5...I felt so ill. We only lived there for 8.5 years and it nearly did me in. I know this is much, much tougher and I am praying for God to give you strength. Adrian is a very wise young woman....your home will always be special because you will be there....you will be blooming and creating new memories with all those who you love and love you.
i too, have such special memories of your house...the fires, the electric blanket. i will cherish those memories always, not because of WHERE they were made, but because of WHO they were with. you are loved and prayed for by so many people. i am so sorry for the pain you are having to endure. but, i know beyond a shadow of a doubt, that God has such special plans for your life...
