Bust a move?

Big changes afoot...our house is under contract to sell, and we’re under contract to buy a house in the suburbs, about an hour away from where we are now.

I should be excited, right? I’m not. I feel like it’s a horrible mistake, although there certainly will be some good things about moving. Not having to worry about schools for the kids, for one. But I wonder how we’ll fit in, how much I’ll miss where we live now, and whether this is the right thing to do.

We had the house on the market last fall and it didn’t sell. I made peace with the idea of staying here and making it work. We thought we’d try one more time to sell the house this spring, but I never actually believed that it would. Now that it appears that it will sell, I’m freaking out. The soul searching I’ve been doing this past year has left me unable to trust my own judgement. I guess time will tell...

How’s this for an odd coincidence: March 23rd, 2009, approximately 5:30 PM I found out I was pregnant with Baby. March 23rd, 2010, approximately 5:30 PM, the real estate agent calls to let me know we have a deal to sell our house. Freaky, no? Next year I’m buying a lottery ticket.
