Ok, so maybe I get more excited then most people (including those moving) when people get a new home. In fact, according to one friend I may be the only person that sends out a congratulations email, however, I have pondered why that is and have come to the following conclusions;
1) All of the possibilities; a new home is a blank slate, and to me, that is super exciting! You get to make it your mark on it!
2) It's new!; Ok, so maybe not new new, unless you bought it new, BUT it is new-to-you, which is fantastic, anything new is exciting to me, especially if it sparkles (please note: when it is something that sparkles it should be new new, not just new to you new!)
3) It's a HOME; And it wasn't a home until you had it, which is warm and fluffy......
4) Your FIRST HOME; At our age and stages in life, for many of my friends these are our first homes, meaning we have never had one of our very own before, and now having one, that is HUGE, I mean, really, biggest money you will ever spend! And when you go to your lawyers office and see that cheque with your name on it you - you expect that it would be one of those HUGE cheques, like super sized ones, but it isn't, it is so small and normal I was surprised all those zero's fit on the little line......
5) Memories; The best part of having a home is that you can sit down and look around it and smile at all of the things that have taken place within those four walls and smile...... I mean, we have had our house for less then 2 years but ever since the day we moved in we have memories in that house..... and it is our home now because of those memories.
Anyhow, I am feeling extremely happy right now cause D & C get to move into their new home this weekend and I just feel so excited about it for some reason I thought I would write a little something about why moving (although the action physical move sucks) totally makes me smile!
Have a great weekend!
