Trying Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 The move finally happened yesterday, last night we slept in our new house for the first time. We still have at least a week to finish getting everything out of the old house so the final goodbye to our home hasn't happened yet. This has been so much more stressful than I could've imagined but at the same time I feel really good about despite the sadness of leaving our home. I'm trying to focus on the positives because that's the only way I'm going to be able to keep going so here they are -I have accomplished more by myself with this move than I ever dreamed was possible. I had no idea that I was so capable - I was able to downsize considerably and feel like I have a better perspective on letting go of clutter and excess that was weighing me down. - I am excited about having the big project of decorating and renovating to make this new house feel like my own. I need a fun challange to focus on and keep me moving forward - I'm excited to create new memories with my kids and reduce the stress on my older 2 to keep up the old house to their Dads high level of standards. This house we can set our own standards and there is much less upkeep. When the older 2 are both off to college and beyond my youngest and I will be able to manage the smaller house and property.

Captains wife Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Wow - CONGRATS! Although hard, this sounded like a great move for you : ) I wish you and your children all the happiness in your new home. This post FYI is also very inspirational - I have thought long and hard about moving and downsizing and need to push myself to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
