Any "May" a Beautiful Change

Wow, it's already May? It is embarrassing how I have let this blog go. A little while ago, my friend Elizabeth emailed me about her sister Katherine's new book, Any Day a Beautiful Change. I'm horrible at paraphrasing but here goes: There is a lot of excitement surrounding her book, her first! And they were inviting people to blog about a beautiful change that has occurred in their own life and share that with everyone by linking it up over at Katherine's blog. Well, truthfully I didn't give it a whole lot of thought. You'll understand why in a minute. I have read the responses posted so far, and all are so good and compelling in their own way. I've thought briefly about writing about becoming a mom, and it's too much to put into words for me right now. I thought about sharing our homeschooling journey, and that's a tough one. It is hard for me to write about that in a way that people understand. Those were two ideas I had, but I kept tossing them aside. I really wanted to write something for Katherine. I've had the pleasure of meeting Katherine, twice! We have daughters born pretty darn close to each other, and truth be told I think about her Juliette when we celebrate Audrey's birthday every January. So what could I write about? As I sit on the computer and look around at the living room, my eyes don't know where to go. There is chaos everywhere. Not the normal chaos of having 3 kids at home, either. We are moving. I'm packing up our home. Our first official home, the one that we brought our babies home too, the one that is a hop, skip and a jump from my sister's house. Our house that holds my beautiful built in book shelves, oh how I love those bookshelves This doesn't sound like a beautiful change, and it certainly isn't right now. Far from it. But, I know that it will be. I don't know when, and I don't know how. I just know. We need more room. It's as simple as that. Robert needs a space to work from that isn't the dining room table. So we are taking a huge leap of faith and will sell this house, to buy another one. The good news is that we are staying in the same city, and while I won't be within walking distance to my sister, it will be a short drive. Long live beautiful changes!
