Packing always makes me panic, moving is stressful, and I'll be glad when this is over. I am not the first person to realize that, and I am far from the last.
We are loading up tomorrow and heading out very early Saturday morning for The Good Life.
My mom and I were talking the other night. After she listened to me freak out, she said something that really took a day or two to sink in. She reminded me of how exciting of a time this is, and that it is stressful, but not to miss out on enjoying it, too. And my "adopted mom" (my best friend's mom) reminded me that this is the beginning of a great and wonderful journey.
Wow, I needed those words from both of those wonderful women.
As I've been packing, I've been rediscovering forgotten things...like autograph books from when we went to Disney World as a family, old activities and lesson plans for classes that might find their way into my classroom, music from what feels like a lifetime ago...and picturing life in the new apartment. Creating new memories. Having visitors (hint, hint, my dear family and friends!).
It's fun to remember the past, and it's fun to dream about the future.
There's no going back now!
