Goodnight Moon
Holy smokes you guys... It's really happening... I am currently lying on our bed, the only place in the house to sit, aside from the toilet 😂 but I thought the bed was more fitting for a blog post 💁🏻♀️.
So, here I am. We are still not done but we are so so close. And we are actually fitting everything we want to bring in our bags and almost everything we've wanted to keep in storage. It's surprising how much stuff we've accumulated even in this small house. This was our first move with two kids though so that makes a difference but still...
We are so tired. The fact that I had a tennis tournament over the weekend and suffered a bit of heat exhaustion on Friday really did not help expedite the moving process. Literally there is always something that keeps me from being as effective but today I was finally able to spend the whole day just packing, organizing, and cleaning. We also had friends stop by and help as well as being us food so we are so grateful for all that support. We couldn't have done it without you guys!
As exciting as this all is and as stressful as this all is, it's also a little sad. I know we are making the right decision in leaving but that doesn't make it any easier. There have been times in the last 6 1/2 years where I have been 100% fed up with Boise and you couldn't have paid me to stay. But then there are times, like this past year, where I really feel like I was finding my niche (impeccable timing, right?!)
After saying goodbye to a friend today and getting a little emotional, Brett mentioned how it's always hard to leave. Finn chimed in and said, "yeah and it's even harder to leave your friends!" Finn, you are so right. How are you so right? You are 5... But really, this past year I have really made and solidified some wonderful friendships and have been a part of several amazing teams: work, tennis, and my church choir. All of you have been so amazing and so supportive and you are making leaving Boise so much harder! Thank you for that 😜
But really, I am so grateful to how found all of you. Better late than never! And it's not like I'm leaving forever; still doesn't make it any easier. It's also been surprising the little things that have me all emotional... Like donating bedsheets from the crib. My babies won't be babies when we come back! That's just crazy...
Something kind of random but also fitting has been that it was a full moon over the weekend as well as Mars being really close so that has been fun to see. And it's been fun to see those for a couple reasons, 1) the opportunity to observe the stars let alone a planet is going to be much less likely in about a week and 2) I haven't been sleeping great (hmm... Wonder why?) So I've been waking up and walking outside to look at the moon which just has given me comfort knowing everything will be fine and everything will work out.
I can't believe it is our last night in this house for two years! It both does and doesn't seem like a long time... Goodnight house, goodnight moon, goodnight Boise, goodnight everyone, I'll see you soon ❤️
