house: one more small step

Published Sep 13, 2007

I try not to blog too often so as not to become redundant.  But I was floored (pun completely intended) when I drove past to pick the kids up for school.  With everything that has taken place thus far, THIS was the most emotional to me.  I guess seeing it hooked up and actually moved from it's original foundation sort of brought the reality of it home. 

For those who think I have nerves of steel - today got me.  I'm so very excited, but reeling with a "holy crud!" thought.  My heart took an actual leap when I saw it like this.  There is a part of me so excited I could squeal.  Then there is a part that is horribly saddened!  This home, where it sat for so many years, has been home to so many generations and holds so many memories.  I fully intend to honor those memories to the best of my ability and create new, loving memories to add to those walls.  But there is still a sadness that comes with seeing it no long on it's foundation.  All I can say is that it's bitter sweet!  

Still, I am so eager to get it to its new home.  I wish I could show pictures of what we have planned, including a wing on the left similar to the one on the right but both with higher roof lines and a wrap porch.  I guess time will have to tell that tale!
