Packing

Last night Shawn and I got to work and began serious packing. I've been working on it throughout the week, but in starts and spurts and at a much slower pace.

We started in Lauren's room. That room has been a lot of things, but it never felt right until it was hers. As we packed up her books and blankets and decorations it hit me that we really were going to leave this place, her first home.

I am thankful that this home holds many memories for me. I am thankful that I can relive those memories, the good and the bad. And, even though it hurts, I am thankful that we have the chance to take a big step and make new memories somewhere else.
