Packing up 13 years of accumulated stuff (and 9+ years of kids’ stuff) is overwhelming. Trying to pack with three young kids who cannot seem to get along today and are insistent on making messes is frustrating. But in spite of it all, I am feeling excited to get the keys to our new place tomorrow!
Greg said this (13 years) is the longest he has ever lived in one house. I think it is pretty close to being the longest for me, too. (It rivals one of my childhood homes for length of time.) All that to say – we are ready and eager for a change! 
But I know once this house has been emptied out that I will feel sad, like I am saying goodbye forever to an old friend.
The only downside to the move is that we LOVE Bree’s preschool (both her therapists and her teachers) so I am sad that we will have to find a new one. And we’ll miss our neighbor, Nette, very much, too!
