As we count down the days to our big move, all my excitement is stilled by this nagging nausea. I start to slow, I sit still, and look at things a little longer.
What will I miss?
Our cramped apartment gave us a certain closeness; I will miss Nick being just a glance away when he’s laughing at Reddit – or a glare away when he’s screaming at pretend people.
I might miss not knowing who Gracie’s favorite is… if it doesn’t end up being me.
I may miss other things that I won’t miss until they’re already gone, so I’m trying to take it all in, and appreciate it while I’m still here.
I’m dragging out my spring photos like a sentimental spring hugger, which is an excellent description of me. The truth is, though, I have no time to make summer photos, and I overdid the spring ones. Lucky you. =)
What are you sentimental about? What do you miss about a change in your life? Tell me, tell me, I really wanna know!

To be honest, every time I’ve moved it’s been for the better, and I’m so thrilled with the new that I don’t even think about the old. From crappy first apartment (young love, lots of cockroaches), to nicer apartment (minus the cockroaches – already a change for the better!), to a condo (yay, home ownership), then a real house with small yard and garden (moving up!) and now my little slice of paradise in a small town, with my gorgeous, airy studio, a view over a ravine to the lake and nature at my door. Sure, there’s always an emotional upheaval with any change, but I truly don’t miss any of those other places I’ve left behind. I love where I am today…and you will too.
I think you’re right Dorothy! Woo hoo to moving on up!!! I’ll finally have a studio of my own too, and Gracie will have a fenced in yard to romp around in everyday, I truly can’t wait =)
