The time for change has finally come. As of 2 days ago, I put my house up for sale. Soon I will have a new home. I will say good-bye to 21 years of memories in the place I have called home. I will drive away from the only house I've really ever known and drive on to a new place, a new house that I will come to know and love. And along with it will bring new memories. I used to fear change, which I think stems from my inability to adapt well to it. Surprisingly, I have opened up more to the idea and have gradually started accepting it. It's time for a new beginning, and I am excited. It's long overdue. I am ready. I hope it comes sooner rather than later.

Wow! Amy Lou is finally moving!!! I am so happy for you guys!
It will be wierd for that home not to be in the "family" anymore. :(
Congratulations! Very exciting. "Change is good, but it isn't always easy". Especially moving from a home with so many great memories!
How exciting. :)
