Our big move to Tennessee is coming up soon. Just a couple weeks away now. And as I pack up boxes, have those last playdates and lunches with friends, I start thinking about the things I am excited to have in the near future, and the things I am going to miss when we leave.
I’m excited about:
Finally being close to family so that everyone can enjoy each other once again.
Free babysitting.
Closets.
The opportunities that come with having a solid support system.
Reconnecting with old friends.
Shelving.
Finally having a garden.
Creeks
Cows
Watching my children grow up in the same place I grew up.
More dates with my husband.
Getting my sanity back.
A chance to organize my house from scratch.
Starting over in general.
Things I’m going to miss:
All of the friends I have made here.
Golf cart rides to the park.
Breakfast with other moms of multiples.
A really close grocery store.
A 3rd bedroom.
My great neighbors.
The big consignment sales.
My gas stove
High speed internet
Things I’m not going to miss:
My house – all of it
Expensive or unavailable babysitters.
My trash company ( really, they are horrible)
High property taxes
Car tags that are due on my birthday.
Pine trees.

Thanks Belinda! Yea, we’ll be getting the satellite internet which is better than dial-up, but not as great as DSL.
