We are moving home on Wednesday. You have no idea how long I have been waiting to say that. I was talking with my cousin earlier tonight and she asked me if I was ready and I responded by saying, "I don't know". She said, "Emotionally ready, but physically not?" and my response was, "actually quite the opposite".
This feels odd to say, but I am very emotional about moving home, not in a bad way, just emotional. How will it feel? Will I remember which switches are which? How long will it take to get back into our routine and feel like it is home again? Will it be strange to wake up on Thursday morning, see the sun rise outside our bedroom windows, as if nothing happened. I am sure this concept is hard to understand, as it is to try and explain. I literally feel like we have been living in the twilight zone for the past 6.5 months. Again, hard to explain. Sadly, if I think about it, I can immediately mentally and emotionally put myself back to 6:30 pm on July 22nd 2012. The fear, the confusion, and rush of instincts kicking in- knowing what had to be done in that exact moment. It is almost as if I can re-live those moments and feel the air, the time and everything else around me. I remember almost every detail and every conversation of that night and I know it will fade, but situations like this that change the fabric of who you are can leave a lasting mark.
The house looks amazing and I must say, I am beyond thrilled with the upgrades we have made. We have enhanced the spaces we live in the most. I said in my first post when this happened that I was committed to making some lemonade out of the lemons we were given and I have to say, it is sweet!
Once we get home and get a little settled, I plan on posting before, during and after pictures! We will be VERY busy this week and it will fly by---Enjoy yours!
