Back in time....

Hi there Everyone!

Well, the movers came yesterday and took away most of our furniture. We decided we'd sell most of our nice stuff, and that needs to happen now, well before we move, so the movers came yesterday and halled everything to the consignment center. So, the house looks amazingly emty of furniture, and all the stuff that was in the furniture is strewn about everywhere. Dave came home last night and was taken aback at the look of the house. But the best part was when he went upstairs to our bedroom. The mattress is on the floor, boxes are everywhere, and we have no furniture in there at all. He laughed out loud. "This reminds of my old bachelor pad!" he exclaimed.

It did take us back to the old days when we bought our very first house together. We couldn't afford anything so this is exactly how our room looked. And as we lay on the bed on the floor, the ceiling seemed so far away. And everything, boxes, piles of stuff, lights, were all high above our eye-level as we lay in bed. And so it is again. It was amazingly romantic and nastolgic. It's been 13 years since that first house, and we had forgotten what it felt like to have a house so empty of stuff (but so full of dreams). We slept so well last night. Like a couple of kids building new dreams, and worn out from the energy of it. And we are building new dreams again. Empty house, big dreams. Have we been taken back in time?

It actually surprises me how happy I am that the furniture is gone. It's like the transition has really begun. I'm so excited about the upcoming adventure. And what a wonderful thing to be taken back 13 years like that. Oh my goodness!! This move is going to be full of surprises!
