Leaving the old Shell Behind

Okay, I'm totally frustrated--
this changing a blog business is trickier than I first thought.  I'm ALMOST at the point of yelling "psych" and going BACK to daisyhalos!  grrr. 

Nonetheless, glad you're all here.  I'm still working out tweeks, so bear with me.  *I know, you other bloggers out there, that starting a blog isn't rocket science, but I've got to deal with emails and permissions and blahdie blah blah blahghghg.

Other than that, things are awesome.
We moved from the Calgary house this weekend past-- a full move.  Sin and my mom and the GVs all came to help, and it was sooo appreciated.  I could NOT have finished the house in time without them.  It was depressing, though, having the house THAT clean!  I mean, honestly, who cleans their house like that EVER?!  And here I was, giving it to someone else!  :S

When all was packed up and out, and the last of the lights were turned off, I put my mail key and garage door opener on the counter and walked over to the stairs.
The tears fell down as I realized how many big moments I have had in that home.  The home I designed, and watched from "birth".  The home I taught 2 of my kids to walk in, including COUNTLESS dayhome kids.  The home of good memories, and yes, of the bad ones.  The night of the affair, the first night after Chris left, the numerous nights of walking with the girls, the night I met Will, the MILLION nights spent on the phone with him, and then, the night before our wedding.  So many nights and so many days of significant moments. It was MY house.  I worked hard to make it a home of comfort and a home of love, and leaving it was bittersweet.

yes, I know there are better things in THIS home, and soon, I'll have lots of good memories here too. 

Like, watching Will take down walls.  :)  He took out the wall in the kitchen while I was in Calgary, and we're both very excited about turning this house into "US".  Of course, I'll post photos.

Anyways, I've got so much to do, but just thought I'd warn ya'll that blogging lately is tough, and to top it off, blogging with this new blog has been a headache.  So bear with me while I revamp and get this blog ready.

It's just the Beginning!

First post guys.  Just setting up this new account, making sure it works.  Stay tuned-- regular programming will follow shortly next week, perhaps.   You know... when life settles down! :)
