We are in! In our new home!! Oh my gosh! After 5 long years of Winnersh we have done it! We have moved to the most gorgeous home that is just wonderful for us right now.
The path here has been so smooth that I still can't quite believe we are here. Today we had an awesome team helping us move house. We expected it to take a few days for us to ferry all our belongings across to the new house but our amazing assistants got it all done in a day! As I write this it is our first night in our new home!!!!!! I can't post this blog tonight though as we don't have an internet connection until tomorrow. First world problem right there!!
I'm still baffled and confounded by the way us ending up here has unfolded. We talked about moving from our last home pretty much since we moved in - we knew it was not somewhere we wanted to live long term but couldn't seem to get clear on when we would move or to where. This summer, I have travelled a dark road through post natal depression and out the other side. Its been a hard journey but I feel like I am so much clearer about what is important to me now.
And that clarity led to us deciding to leap and hand in our notice on our last property without that much of an idea of where we were planning to move to.
'Leap and the net will appear.'
I love that phrase. And I feel like we have landed in the absolute best place for our family right now.
It is a stretch for us to live here. We are going to have to adjust to the new house (and unpack a whole lot of boxes!). Its a step up for us. When we moved to Winnersh it was a step up for us too. It was a stretch for us to live in that house at the beginning. It was also the exact best place for us at the time. And we stretched and grew and changed there.
We learnt so many lessons living in that house. We struggled and overcame our debts. We brought two children into the world there. We hosted our family and friends for meals and play dates and parties and gatherings and ceremonies. Our family grew from two adults and one wee 18 month old boy to two slightly more tired adults and 3 energetic, happy and lively boys who move their bodies all the time - they even bounce up and down on the spot when they play computer games!
I feel like this house is a humongous gift for us. We have prayed and dreamed and believed we could have a home that would be lovely. I am not sure I could have dreamed up some place as wonderful for us as this. God certainly took our dreams and gave us more than we could ever have imagined possible for ourselves. And for that I am so unbelievably grateful.
