It's Official

A week ago today I completed signing a zillion documents to finalize selling my first home to another couple. In some ways, I feel really relieved as I have been afforded a new sense of freedom. There is one less major thing holding me here, therefore when I am promoted picking up and moving across the country will be a lot less complicated. At the same time, I feel a bit displaced. I have driven past my old house at least twice since the paperwork was complete. I have had to talk myself out of driving by multiple other times.

During one of my stalking/drive by escapades I spotted the new owners carrying some things into the house. I wondered if they recognized my car as I drove by and if they had participated in similar activity while the house was under contract. They were a really cute couple and I could not help, but hope that they have as many great memories as I had there. When I ponder the things that I will miss most, about my house, there are two things that come to mind: the large trees shading the backyard and the chance to decorate it for another Christmas. I love Christmas and most particularly decorating for it. Some friends who helped me move said that they thought I had more boxes labeled Christmas decorations than anything else. They might be right!

This year has certainly been filled with lots of unexpected twists and turns. Many are curious about where I am headed from here. To be honest, I am not quite sure. What I do know is that I have been faced with too many decisions and for now I do not plan to make anymore decisions. I am in the process of realigning my goals. I have yet to fully understand exactly what that means for me. All I know is that I am in the midst of a discovery process. Where are you these days???
