Be Here Now

So it's looking quite certain that this will be our new home. The contract has been signed, our old house has been sold. We just got the appraisal, and marvels of marvels - praise God - it came in at just what we were hoping for. We've been continually amazed at how smoothly the buying/selling process has gone so far.

Now, I'm itching to post the pictures I took of the inside, but still need to clear it with the current owner. I just sat down with my kiddos and gave them the picture tour. It was funny, because my boys were far more interested than my little gal. My littlest boy even said "oooo" at several points, and both boys eagerly asked to go through the pictures again, but their sister was very ready to move on.

I'm starting to feel that in-between feeling. You know, that way you feel when you're on the brink of change. Not staying, but not going yet either. Anxious for both in different ways. In truth, the fact of actually leaving Sister and family around the corner is still hard to swallow, but I know I will have to. So like unpleasant (but good for me) medicine part of me wants to swallow it quick and get it over with.

Yet we're not moving until the end of June and there's lots of plans and projects and packing and little people to take care of before then...

I think this is the best advice I can give myself for the present.
