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!
