Let the stress begin

The house hunt is on.

We have been in our current house for 15 years, where does the time go. I didn't think that when we bought it we would be here for so long, because it was small when we bought it and has only gotten smaller as each child entered our family. I always joke that in the summer, my square footage increases as the kids spend most of their time out

side and the house doesn't seem as full. I've kept telling myself that lots of families "in the olden" days grew up in small homes... and with lots of children, but somehow it's different now.

We have lots of good memories here, it's where we grew our family and have made friends that we could easily consider family. I feel like it's where we've "grown" up. But it's time to move on and we're excited for the change. We feel grateful that our entire family is on board and excited for the change. To say I'm super nervous would be an understatement, heck, I need benadryl to even get any sleep. I don't expect I'm going to be very pleasant from here until January 12th what with house hunting and Thanksgiving and Christmas and all the stress associated with all those things. I'm not t

he most stable person to begin with. (And nobody would argue that in my family). So, chocolate and caffeine....lots of it and maybe we'll make it through. Can't wait to see where we end up.
