Change

Change means many things to many people. For some it is something to be embraced, exciting, and new. For others it is something to be feared because there are so many unknown variables. For those who are literal it is the money you get back when making a purchase.

Change is coming fast and furious to our household. We have decided to downsize so we are weeding through decades of accummulation, decades of collecting, decades of memories. At first we struggled with moving because we enjoy our dream home and the space and other amenities it affords us. But each time we have to clean it we are exhausted and realize that it's just too big for us! We also are tired of the responsibility and want an easier life.

Throughout the years of our marriage we have weathered many other "changes", many other hardships and have always found a way to come out on top. Moving is a major step for us but we believe we will come out on top with this decision too.

Our house sold much faster than we ever expected so we have to find something else and be ready to move rather quickly. It's put our heads in a tailspin, but we are discussing every aspect, every pro and con, and are trying to make the most informed decision we can.

So, I apologize for not blogging for the past month. It's been a bit hectic and rather than a rational entry you would have been reading something incoherent. Blogging will be hit or miss over the next few weeks, I'll work at it as time permits. I will be back once we are settled in our new place.

June is wedding time!

Before leaving the dentist's office the other day I gave my hygenist a token wedding gift. It was one of our Special Occasions wedding garters. My hygenist, who is so sweet, was so touched by the gift and said she will cherish it forever. She loved the heirloom quality of wearing the garter on her wedding day then saving it for her baby girl's christening day. 

That reaction is the same one you will receive when you give one of our heirloom wedding garters to your favorite bride. She will not only fulfill the traditional "something new, something blue", but will also have a keepsake that can be passed down for generations to come. Or she can be a little different and rather than wear something blue wear a garter that matches her bridesmaid's dresses. Either way it will be the perfect gift!
