Moving Day

Tomorrow is moving day! And it is exciting to be doing something quite fun. How did we get to this point? The process is interesting, and amazing--to me, anyway. First, a beautiful house is built across the street from Dana. We watch it being built all last summer, Dana always says "mom, go and look at it" and I say "no, it'll be too much money for me". Over the fall, the house is listed, and the price is too hig. But after some time passes, the price drops, and then drops again. I go look at the house, and drag all my family to see it too. With positive comments and affirmations from said family, I make an offer--and voila, house is mine pending the sale of the Cedar Ave. home. I call the agent, and to my surprise, my old house is sold in 3 weeks (annoying process, but--it is really sold). Then after a couple anxious days, my offer is accepted for the Hedley beautiful new house...and a-moving we will go!
Now, to be clear, Delaney is not thrilled leaving her growing up home, and all her memories of her dad. and I still think leaving Dalmeny would not have been terrible. But I did say to Miss D that this move is not all about her, the move is for me. I will have my big house on an small (well, smaller) lot, have lovely new neighbours and very importantly, have my own bathroom!
Since tomorrow is moving day, it really should be bedtime. So off I go to dream about packing boxes, paint colours, and sore knees. Moving story to be continued...
