Bittersweet

Ok, so I admit it. I'm not a real sappy person, and I rarely cry, but I got a little tear in my eye this afternoon as I was packing up our house. If you haven't heard, the Rayburns are MOVING!!! I'm excited about it, but sad all the same. I so carefully placed all the photos on the walls and spent hours picking out paint colors, and now we're leaving our first home. It's truly amazing how time flies and I'm scared to blink because I might wake up 80! I LOVE our house since it was our first "real" place together and I'm not a person who lets go easily. I mean, I keep clothing for years, still have all my corsages from highschool, and even have a rotation of dinners, so I definitely like things a certain way. I can't wait to start our lives in our new home, and to be going back to a simpler, slower, way of life. I love that we are moving back to the country and am bursting at the seams to begin it, but I'm gonna miss this house and all my friends here. It just seems I have to start all over again and that is something this creature of habit isn't excited about. Moving in general is definitely at the top of my hate list anyways. I think it stems from the fact that I've done it so many times. Any person who went away to college feels me on this. I guess the sooner I finish the sooner it will be over. *sniff sniff*
