There is much rejoicing at our house right now. On Wednesday, we officially SOLD our house in Williamson County. In the days leading up to the sale, I felt very sad because it made our move so real. Even though we moved to Memphis three months ago, I think in the back of my mind I was clinging to that house like a security blanket. I hadn't fully let go of our life in Middle TN, but I guess that is normal since my whole life has been in Middle TN. At the MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers)meeting that I went to at Lauren's school last week, I actually cried when I told my table that we were headed back for the last time to pack up our house. If you know me well, you know that I hate to cry in front of people and especially people I don't know well. Sharing my sadness with my new friends really helped me process everything and by the time we left Memphis to get our stuff, I didn't feel sad anymore, just ready to get it over with and really start our life here. As we headed down the road out of town, Emily said, "I'm tired of making this trip. Can this be our last time to do this?" Though, I miss my friends and the familiarity of life in Middle TN, I'm so glad for the people God has put in my life here in Memphis. If everything goes as planned, we'll be closing on a house here in two weeks!
