Change is in the air. The season has
changed (and oh how I love it), I want to change my hair and in a
matter of one week a big change will happen.
Matt and I will finally be living in
our own house.
We've saved and sacrificed a lot to
make it to this point. We've lived with my parents for nearly two
years, we've taken only one holiday this year – a week in a cabin
in west Wales, I've not bought nearly as many clothes and 'nice
things' as I would have liked to. But it'll be worth it to have our
own place where our family will really take a foot hold.

How it looked almost two months ago |
Earlier today as I was cleaning our
bathroom, it suddenly hit me that it'll probably be the last time I
do it. Whilst I was in the shower I realised it was my last Sunday
night shower in this house. I feel excited and I feel sad.
I feel sad to be leaving what has been
a very happy family home for me, I'm going to miss my parents and
brother like freaking crazy. I'm going to miss the comfort I feel of
just being at home, I'm a proper home body. I'd rather be at home
than anywhere else. I know I'm
going to be homesick, I just know. But I know that I have to take the
bull by the horns and enjoy what is to come.

Down in the valley is our new town |
I'm
excited because the prospect of owning my own home makes me feel
grown up. At 27 and married I still don't feel grown up, I don't feel
like I'm taken seriously by the world. Hopefully owning my own place
will change that. I'm looking forward to decorating it and filling it
with our clutter. I'm looking forward to owning an American sized
fridge-freezer that gives you ice both cubed and crushed, I need that
crushed ice!
Matt
is excited because he gets to get a kitten. OK, so he's excited not
to be living with his in-laws any more and because
he gets to get a kitten.

Change
is coming, and it feels good.
I know it feels like forever, but I can't believe it's been two years already. I'm so excited for you guys to go on your own. I don't know how you managed, but it was obviously well worth the wait. Can't wait to see more photos of it once you've moved in!
