So much time and so little to do! Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it.

This weekend was moving weekend! But I didn't think it was really for real moving weekend. I thought for sure that we were only going to be moving some of the bigger things like the appliances, tables, couches, etc... It didn't really hit me until I saw my bed broken apart and coming down the stairs to be loaded into the moving trailer. I'm not exactly sure why my mind thought this but when it hit me, it hit hard! I'm really moving! I'm really getting married! I'm really going to be living with a boy! - for the rest of my life!!! 

Woah! That was a lot of change in such a little bit of time! 

I have come across that feeling several times throughout this little engagement period that we've had, but not like the way it felt on Saturday. I guess I have just gotten so wrapped up in all of the planning that I forget that we are actually really doing this! For real! No take backs! No turn arounds or sike moments! This is really happening! 

As I watched all of my belongings being moved around me, I had a moment of nostalgia. There were a lot of special things that happened in that home. That was Chloe's first home. We had our first Christmas tree there. Chloe flooded the whole master bathroom and kitchen there. Kyle proposed to me there. I didn't even get to have a moment to reminisce or think about these things before it was all being taken apart and moved out. Call me crazy, but for a short period, this was my home... and I wasn't sure if I was ready to give it up just yet.

Don't get me wrong, the new home is beautiful and I'm so excited to share in the new memories that Kyle, Chloterd, and I will make as a family there. It is such a neat feeling when I'm organizing things and decorating for both of us. Yes, I did reserve half   a little less than half of the master closet for him and he did get half  some space in the bathroom storage area. But I'd like to direct your attention to the fact that we decided on things together and we are both so excited to see it all coming together. 

The townhome felt so much like my space and this new house is completely ours. My heart is so happy and so full of love as we embark on this new journey together. I was a little sad to see one chapter of my life coming to a near close, but I'm so elated to see the next unfold.
