... been thinking...

Every move is a little (or not so little) *death*- experience. This one is not so bad, since we're not moving countries or cities, just 5-minutes down a few roads. Yet, I'm a bit sad about moving away from where we have been for the past 15 months.

What I will miss:

• the gorgeous water view we were blessed with in this house
  
• the flowers in the garden - in spring and summer
• my daily walks to Kylie's preschool - my only exercise - 10 minutes one way - and
  
• socializing with neighbours, greeting and being greeted by familiar faces while walking - I enjoy that:)

What I am looking forward to in the new house:

• SPACE!
  
• Having a bedroom to ourselves again to retreat to if we want to - to be together as a couple or talk on the phone - no more talking in the car or in the bathroom in the evenings (with always at least one teenager in the living room and Shayden in our bedroom)
• AVOCADOS from our own tree 6 months out of the year - and other fruit-trees!
• Car-pooling with friends close by to all kinds of activities

Anyways, we are making some good progress with the packing. This might possible become the least stressful move "ever"? Could it be????
I won't be able to tell 'til it's all over and done:) - there's still 2 weeks and HEAPS of work!
