Oh Anna! Listening to you describe ALL THE FEELINGS that come with packing up a home took me right back to (almost) two years ago when we sold our beloved home, downsized and moved across the country. I, too, drifted out of the bedroom one night, onto the couch, under the gigantic timber-framed "king post truss" above me that the four of us pounded together when we built the house. I STILL miss the house and am nostalgic for the memories I carry in my heart. You are right: it's all part of the process of change, and hard feelings don't necessarily mean the decision is wrong. Thanks for letting us into your process and journey!
I'm slightly envious. You have definite plans to work toward, something to look forward to. My life is slowing down and I have to recreate/rethink myself as my body starts to deteriorate. As for the kids, there is no perfect way, except loving care, whichever way you go. Thanks for your musings.
Thanks for sharing your journey Anna! It is such a big thing to do to pack up a home & part of your past but it sounds like you're doing amazingly. Looking forward to the next post!
You and Jamie have made a life-altering decision and it's logical that your subconscious is continually processing whether it's yeah or nay. The experiences that the wee ones will have will, of course, shape their personalities, and broaden their worlds. So amazing! It's the unknown that makes our hearts flutter and it's not a bad thing. You're a great mom, Anna. Two short breathes in, one long breath out. You got it.
I love listening to your Friday updates and always take something away on how you think about problems and look at your challenges, think everyone could channel their inner Mcnuff more!!

Anyone would feel this way, but I can’t imagine you’ll ever regret it. I’m looking forward to reading about these big adventures as they come!
