Washing machine
I know this seems silly but I have never been so thankful to have my washing machine work. When we were getting ready to move we knew we had to move out our very expensive and beautiful(okay when your a SAHM you will understand) washing machine. As Jeremy and his buddy from work are loading it and then came the stairs. AHHHHH! I was so nervous because if I lost a washing machine or the washing machine crushed the nice man who was helping us...it would have been horribly tragic- death by washer. But it was SOO glorious to plug it in and to have it work! Yay for laundry! Except all the laundry that's clean and waiting to be put in its place is still waiting. My washing machine is very very important to my life. All the SAHM's will totally understand!
Part A : from urban to rural
On So we decided the Sunday before Christmas that we were going to surprise momma and papa Epp. Well that went with out a hitch. Getting to our new place was more of a challenge. Problem a :truck ran out of fuel (actually the front gas area had ice in it so it froze) paid 60$ for half a jerry can. Merry Christmas kind man whom helped us! Problem b; all the stores were closing because it's christmad Eve and we needed diapers. Found a store that was open and it was glorious! Then we drove 1.5 hours and made it to our new home. Unloaded and unpacked a bunch! It's a little insane knowing that I am in the process of going urban to rural! We had to buy a fridge just a cheap plane fridge(trying to be frugal and be aware that I don't always need to have the best of the best.) we got Lydia's room all done and I must state that it is quite the improvent!
Before
After:
Packing
Packing seriously is not a fun time. Especially so close to christmas. I have a ton of laundry to tend to and boxes to haul out to the garage. It's a pain to have to move all these things! I wish I just got to buy everything new. Not only would that be horribly expensive but it would be hard to leave the memories attached to some of our stuff. Last night we looked at old family christmas cards from the last 6 years and it's awesome to see how much everyone has changed! 
I plan to have this wall staked very full of boxes.
Moving
When I look at you I see the time that has passed. I saw my babies grow here. Yet it's all changing. I've known that this is the plan and what we have always wanted. It's hard to walk away from the place we have always been, this is our life and now it's changing... Maybe I'm clinging maybe I'm being selfish... It's hard to leave; it's hard to walk away.
In excited for new dreams and new memories to arise. I'm in the moments before you rip off the band aid and you know pulling it off is gonna hurt so you do it fast; your whole body tense you mind preparing itself for the struggle but you know once the band aid is off the skin will breath and all will be well again.
I can't wait to have new moments and see who God has made us to be in this new old place. It's new to me and home to you, it is all we have ever wanted and have continuously made due with what had been placed in front of us. We had a fairwell and I know we are loved. I wouldn't change any of this tension before the band aid is removed because I would be doing it without you.
