It's funny the way things work. Friday evening I caught up with some friends from my past workplace - I don't miss the job, but I sure do miss my old "team". One of the girls that I employed there (she and I go waaaay back, and I actually coached her in Under 12's more than 10 years ago) is looking to buy a house in our area. We've sent her through a few pics and they are really keen to come and have a good look.
This is where the bittersweet thing comes in. I REALLY love my house. It's Loz's and my first house together and we've built a life together here. Don't get me wrong, I'm super excited about the life we're leaving here for (and the wonderful people we've met in the process) but there's just a hint of sadness today as I begin to mentally separate from our "home".

After 31 years in the one home, I have a lot of happy memories, afterall we were only in our early 20's when we moved here, no kids or pets.
In those 31 years, we have produced two children, had 3 cats (one of which we still have) and have entertained so many wonderful friends with dinner parties (in the 80's & 90's). We do not have an original component left in the house, every room has been renovated and redecorated. I look at this move as a beginning of a new stage of life, and I will not be sorry to move out of our house as it has now ceased to provide what we now need for the future.
I am personally getting more excited about moving as the weeks go by, and the new people we are continually meeting have been wonderful.
I may even revisit those dinner party days yet again - at least we can walk home!!
I had the same feelings leaving our last house but you are moving on to bigger and better things and no one can take your memories away.
Serendipity! Cat chose the butterfly, Cat will choose your house. maybe...
