Room to Grow

With the family growing there is a need for us to find a larger home. I am finding this search very exciting. So exciting in fact that I have been decluttering for the past few weeks, and today I actually started to pack some items. Since we haven't actually picked a house yet I keep reminding myself not to pack anything that we will need on a daily basis. I do like to be organized, and since I am so restless in anticipation this effort is better than pacing around the house uslessly while I wait for the afternoon to come so we can look at some potential new homes.

Aaron really doesn't want the kids going to school in Scarborough, due to drugs and crime. Otherwise we might consider finding a way to make our current house work for us. There are a lot of thing we do like about our home (especially my kitchen skylight!!!) which might help or hinder our choice in new home. Also, for me this is the first house I lived in without "parental units", it is our first love nest and marital home. As well as being Daniel's first home.

However, I do like change and I look forward to a new home in Ajax. And hope that we find something before my belly becomes too big for me to be useful!!! :)

Wish us luck!

Literal baggage

I finally let go...my journals. My first one was started when I was 11 and 1/2.
I have been carrying all of this around with me on every move - from my parents house to Baba's and then to this house- all packed in a vintage suitcase and a cheap duffel bag. Literal baggage. Upon flipping through them I found a lot of negative stuff. I seem inspired by the bad and hardly wrote anything nice in there. Unless you count all the "I love this guy or that guy". Names I cannot remember the faces of. I actually kissed a guy named Don!??!

Now over 20 years later I feel I can let go. It felt good to make this decision - it shocked my mom (and inspired her to declutter a bit). Hopefully I can inspire more...
