We're trading one heat wave for another,
but at least in Arizona we will have air conditioning and a pool!
We've been packing and cleaning and cleaning and packing...
but I couldn't leave without saying "Thank You" to all of you that responded to my post about seeing our old home in AZ.
You helped me sort through my feelings in a way that I haven't been able to on my own.
I loved that some of you felt the same way that I did!
A little bit nosey and curious!
(There's nothing wrong with that!)
And I loved the honesty that came from those who had been in my shoes before, and warned me not to do it!
It was those of you that had been given the chance to walk through your old homes, and taken that chance, that weighed the heaviest on my decision.
I was overwhelmed by the underlying feeling of...
once it's done, it's done.
Once I've walked through my home that is no longer mine, I can't take it back and un-see the changes.
And I can definitively say that I am not ready for that.
My emotions for this house are not about its four walls, but about the life that we lived for that two and a half years. The friends that I made, that so quickly became a part of my life and took on the role of "family"...not just friend.
I miss that life.
You helped me see that too.
I will not be touring our old home, or knocking on the front door...and I'm not sure that I even want to do a drive-by.
I want to see my friends...my family.
So we're out of here!
We'll be back in one week!
And again, thank you, from the bottom of my heart!
You're the best!
Don't think I don't know that!!
