Musings

So lately a lot has been going on in my life, but there's one thing that I've been having mixed feelings about.  For those who don't know, my parents plan on moving -- it won't be far; they're mainly just hoping to downsize while remaining within easy driving distance of Fort Meade.  But it's still a weird feeling.

This is the only house I remember living in (even though there were 2 others).  It's not exactly an emotional attachment, but instead more of a feeling of comfort.  I'm used to my house -- I know where things go, I know how things are done, and I'm comfortable there.  I have no way of knowing that I will feel that same once things change.

It's kind of weird, really.  Every time I go home something has changed -- a room has been painted or furniture moved or flooring replaced.  It's just...odd.  I wish I'd had the chance to take pictures before everything started changing.  But I guess it's all just normal.  Everybody moves, and I'm sure that I'll feel comfortable in the new house.  I'm just happy that we aren't still moving to Georgia -- that would have been horrible.

To be quite honest, I've been pretty spoiled by this house.  It's always been too big for the family -- we could all very easily be in different areas/rooms, but it's comfortable.  Now I can't really say that anymore.  We've had hardwood floors put in for the entire main level and now it just feels...different.  It doesn't feel like home anymore.  But I guess I should get used to that feeling.  Not too long from now it won't be my home anymore.

The house is going to be listed in a couple weeks -- hopefully by then I can lose the attachment.  Plus, I kind of have a new home now; I live in my house in College Park most of the time, so that's making it easier to part with 'home.' I guess I'll just have to wait and see how things work out.

Anyone looking to buy a house in Crofton?
