I'm sitting here alone in this shell of an apartment that I have called "home" since the start of my England journey. It didn't hit me until tonight that I am going to be a little bit sad to leave! I loved my comfy leather chair and ottoman by the window where I could read, take naps, day dream and watch the world move at a recreational park space with laughing children, occasional barking dogs...Always laughter, which is something that is so up lifting to hear! It's small and cozy in here and in some ways, very secure. Not to mention how quick and easy it is to clean!
I LOVE the new house though! I'm excited to have SPACE! I love the fact that I will be able to use my surround sound system! I can play Dance games on my Wii without worrying if the dancing is to loud for the neighbors below! I'm sure I will fall in love with a new place to read, a back yard, new scenery, etc. (So excited about the conservatory!! I think that will be my new favorite place!) More than anything though, I hope the neighbors will be friendly and we will have the opportunity to make friends. I'm a little worried seeing that this neighborhood is filled with older couples with children...I hope they can make room for the little American girl with high spirits and big personality! I waved and said hello this morning to the neighbor across the stree and she said hi back...Soooo progress? :)
As of today, I've managed to clear the guest bedroom completely out (except the bed frame and dresser as they are too big for the car!), the bathroom, some of the living room and kitchen. I think Dave will be pleased about the progress when he sees it!
Overall, I'm excited and see this as a new step in life and like any other change, embrace the idea of change and possibilites that go with it! I'll always remember my first "home away from home", but I think this new home will offer more opportunities in bringing the family closer together (my husband and his daughters plus more opportunities to do things with the extended family!), it allowes room for growth if we ever decide to have a child of our own (my fault really, can't seem to make up my mind on that one!)....Not to mention it has it's very own sauna! LOL!
Will let you know how things pan out! Maybe even add a pic or two!
Live, Laugh, Love!
Its funny that certain people always thought I would be just a pee on. Well, it's nice for once to see you sweating the bullets! You see, I hate being peed on, but I also know what goes around comes around and with a little bit of hard work and some good karma, all the sudden I don't seem so weak! I love how you think you can play the emotional cards on me such as "Leaving the love of family and close friends!"...What you don't realize is that I don't care...It's not that I don't care about the love of family and close friends mind you, because I do, it's that all my family and friends are completely supportive and excited for me about this, so trying to use them against me is pointless because I already have "their blessings". I've got the love and support from the people I CARE about! It's just that you think I'm impressionable and naive, but what it has come down to is that I say anything just to shut you up! You think your...
