An empty room

 I've been preparing for this move for the past six months. Now the time has finally come and I'm finally starting to feel excited, instead of stressed with thinking about all the things that would need to be organised. When we moved to Ashburton we literally had nothing but a coffee table, an inordinate amount of books, and an air mattress to sleep on. Over the past two years we've built up a furnished home - each piece of furniture earned and paid for. Cushions and rugs sourced, desks and dressers carefully considered. Looking around at all the boxes and mess, it makes me so proud that every item in our home has a memory and a story.

Our lounge is almost empty now, as I'm getting ready to make the first four hour drive to our storage place. I'm excited to move on to a new home, a new chapter in our lives. I'll miss this town though.
