I'm 30 days away from boxing up almost five years worth of life and relocating back home. Only smaller. Much, much smaller.

But I thought I might share my experience with you. With anyone reading this- which may very well be no one. But I'm okay with that. Because the more of this experience I get outta my head, the least likely I am to clunk my husband on the head with a giant roll of packing tape. Repeatedly. Just kidding.... maybe ;)
This is what I'm about to leave:
But don't cry for me just yet. This is what I'm coming home to:

With this crazy bunch :)
And maybe along the way we'll start to understand just how lucky we really are...
Crazy bunch you say...oh honey you've only been around our family a few years, crazy doesn't even begin to describe it.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for you all to move back to the Bluegrass. Jake needs his cousin Ryan to teach him, hmmm...not sure what Ryan will teach him but I'm sure it will be fun and keep him in trouble for years to come.
(Great. OF COURSE I'd read this a few glasses of wine in... Good thing I'm in the clear since you started the whole thing off talking about your own emotions)
ReplyDeleteI am seriously becoming unhinged about this right now. I feel so empathetic! (Darn those pictures and videos) To leave one place that you have GROWN to love, that you have put effort into -- a city that you have come see as a reflection of yourself -- and move to a city that's while still close to home, is so foreign. I don't know where to begin -- TALK ABOUT BEING EMOTIONAL -- I'm a wreck right now. Haha.
I know these next 30 days are going to be a continual eb and flow of emotions -- so if this blog isn't cathartic enough, you can always call me. Day or night.
XOXO

Oh and PS- Thank goodness for Kara! Right? If I'm going to be your best 24-hour-call-me-when-you-need-me-hotline friend I need to pull myself together! (I'm on it.)
Tears...So excited for you, so sad to see you leave, so questioning whether I should be making the same move someday? And you thought you were emotional! :) One thing's for sure: You will shine no matter where you are in this world!!! Love you dearly.
ReplyDeleteSweet Haley...so exciting!! I hope you are settling into KY. We have thought many times about making the move back. I'm not sure if we will just yet, but I would love it! Also, I know very well the value of blogging feelings. I started my blog as a craft/fun/boring blog and now I pour out my heart....very healthy, :) Happy to find your blog, excited about your move, and also thrilled about your awesome veggie background...wondering how you do that..?
ReplyDeleteThat was not will, above, it was BROOKE...:) And I was accidentally on Will's profile. Being in Switzerland, every time I try to delete it, it tells me something in German..so..:) HELLO! haha!
