Packing is in full swing, and there are boxes everywhere! There is a lot of work to do, but I have also had some time to think about this move. Moving is exciting and scary at the same time.
It hit me a few days after we signed the purchase agreement that we had legally agreed to buy this house. I felt sick for a minute as I thought of all of the negative things about the house (not that there are many): the small yard, the small master bathroom, the outdated kitchen. Of course, I felt that same way after I had signed the lease for my first apartment, too, and I ended up loving that apartment. I know I'll love our new house, too.
I also got teary eyed when I thought of the duplex being Nathaniel's only home so far. He's just starting to know his room and points to it when he wants to crawl up the stairs to go play with his toys up there. In the new house, there won't be stairs to crawl up to get to his room, and he loves crawling up stairs! There are stairs from the basement to the main floor, but that doesn't seem quite the same to me. I really will miss the duplex. It was our home when Del and I got married and the home we brought our newborn baby to.
I know that we will make this new house ours and that we all will love it! I'm looking foward to having more space, having Nathaniel's room on the main floor so that he can go play whenever he wants, having a dedicated scrapbook space, having a two-car garage.... It will be a great house, and though it will be the first home we will own, the duplex will always be our first home.
