So wierd... Another house
So we move - a lot. For years I moved 2-3 times a year. During the last 5 years it's only been once a year or even once every two years (except for the unfortunate time we moved to Redmond when we moved twice in one year again and happily paid $1K for the privilege). But we move a lot. Only 2 years out of the past fifteen have I not moved once, twice or three times (even a couple years with 4). Up til we broke down and bought furniture a few years ago, I have always been ready to throw my belongings in a car and leave without looking back within 4-5 hours.
Sat we just moved into a house where we don't need to ever move again if we don't want to - for. the. rest. of. our. lives. I have never felt more conflicted. Is this how guys who can't commit feel when they find someone they could potentially settle down and be happy with? I am happy, but I was happy being a semi-nomad too. I'm not one of those who thinks a piece of land or a house somehow makes a home. I read stories of people who won't leave their homes in times of conflict of emergency (flooding for example) and I don't get it. Home is inside each one of us and I carry it with me wherever we live. Home is me and N loving each other and although the new house will be fine for that - I don't know if I feel that this is the momentous occasion that many of my friends seem to feel it is. Although it dedfinitely feels strange.
It's been awefully fun painting the whole place in COLOR! (and apt dwellers know what I'm talking about) That is without a doubt the best part of the whole home-owning thing :D
