We are moving. Moving in basically a week. Despite the fact that I've been packing boxes full of clothes, pictures, home decor and other items for storage this doesn't seem real. We have lived in this home for almost four years. They have been four good years. We were fairly over the hardest part of infertility when we moved in...less depression and more proactive about saving and preparing for our future and our decision to try a donor egg IVF cycle. Hopeful and scared to try but knowing it would be worth it. Now four years later we are packing up our things and moving our lives and our dear daughters with us. The only home they've known so far.
We had talked about moving for the last year or so. We weren't in love with the location of our home, the schools in the area, the neighbors, etc. Things that I think crossed our minds during our search four years ago but never really mattered as much...we honestly had no idea and weren't sure if we'd ever have children at the time we purchased the home. Now we feel it would be a good trade to be able to buy during such a good market and low interest rates. I initially thought I would love to move before the girls were up and moving...I wanted their first steps to be in the new home. But that didn't happen. And now we are temporarily moving in with Jeff's parents (about 45 minutes south) and we both really do hope it's a short stay. So now all I really hope is to be settled with the girls into a new place by the end of the year.
They are such good girls and we are really so lucky. They are both doing great. We sold our fridge after a less than appropriate appraisal and re-negotiating of the contract so we have been living out of ice chests for a week. It's been quite the adventure in creative cooking and meal planning. The girls have been taking everything in stride though and although sometimes I think things make them anxious they are always okay as long as we are there for them. It will be exciting to see the progress of things in the future for them.
