We officially closed on our house almost 2 weeks ago. We are now "renting" our home but it still hasn't hit me that it is no longer "ours".
I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with the changes we are and will be experiencing. I leave for Utah on June 3rd with the kids. Trevor's parents come out to Louisville on June 4th to help Trevor load the truck that weekend then they will start their drive to Utah on the 7th and meet us there. We will visit family for a few more days then head up together to our new home in Kennewick, Washington.
This move is hard in sooo many ways.
Physically packing up our house, d-junking, and cleaning feels like an insurmountable task. Especially when I have 2 little boys hanging onto my legs and unpacking what I just packed. They are more clingy lately and I'm sure they are sensing big changes as more and more of their items are disappearing into boxes and since their mommy is quite frazzled and impatient lately.
Emotionally, well, I'm definitely struggling. I feel sad.
I keep asking Trevor, "Why are we moving??? We are happy here and we are moving across the country to a place where we don't know anybody!" He doesn't have to say a word because I already know why... because (for what ever reason) it is where our prayers have led us. I know I have to trust in that but it will be so hard to say good-bye to Kentucky. Three years went by way too fast and I have enjoyed the most wonderful friendships here and learned so much about myself. Our move to KY has been such a blessing and I have to believe that Washington will bring more blessings to our family.
Faith, that is what it boils down to... that is what is always boils down to.
Here are some pictures of our family 3 years ago:

Aaw, I'm so sad and happy for you!
Sad that you have to leave the sweet friends and memories behind but happy for the adventures waiting for you! Good luck with the move!
Oh Kathryn, you will be so so missed!!! This post fills me with emotion because I know I will be experiencing the same feelings next year. Your faith is inspiring. Good luck this next week, please let me know if you need anything!!
I understand so well every emotion you are having. I has been very hard for me to leave there also and I miss it everyday. I lived there or 9yrs and called it home. I really thought I would spend the rest of my life there. Good luck on your new adventure and I hope you know that I miss you!
You will miss it. Even after a year you will miss it. (I still miss Jersey) But you will LOVE Washington. It will be HOME before you know it.
