Where do I begin with “what’s going on with the Hammans?”  In short, we are selling our beautiful home in our beloved town. As sad as it is, we are moving to an equally lovely town and have found some homes that we can see as our forever homes. It’s so tricky the emotional waves that sneak up on me about it all.

We look at homes and its new, exciting, and another adventure with my loves. I know we are making the best decision long-term but pulling the girls from all they know is hard. We have so many roots in our town, so many great people, so much vested in it all that the thought of starting over is terrifying and unnerving. The hardest part is the emotional waves Natalie has over it. She also gets excited for the adventure and newness of it all but then has moments of not wanting to leave her friends, school, gymnastics gym, etc… She breaks my heart! In my heart of heart I know they are still very young and very resilient. I know that they will have bands of friends, activities, plans for play dates and we’ll all fall into a pattern.

This moves allows us to go RVing more and not feel guilty leaving our big house with the pool we spent so much money on behind when we do. We’ll be able to get our food straight from local sources. We’ll be able to bike for long distances, hike from around the corner, and be close to very amazing friends.

Many people move and many people move multiple times but I can tell you that except for some unexpected devastation, this is the last time we move until both girls are in college! It’s going to be an adventure, there’s going to be unexpected downfalls and happy surprises…wait and see!
