Today my Gratia is for new beginnings...

When ever something big happens in our lives I think of it of a new chapter in the story that is us. Today we wrote the first lines of a new chapter. We Closed on a house that has been, what seems to me, a long time coming. We are excited and it will be really nice to start anew, so to speak. The kids and I are a bit sad to leave this old place, we have lived for the past eight years and the neighborhood and school that we have become so accustomed too. We are working on staying focused on what will be new like more space, another bathroom and a yard that will be twice the size. I keep telling the kids that life is boring if you do not have change and how can you grow as a person if you always stand in the same place. They may not understand now but I am sure they will get it sometime. Although there is sadness and even a few tears it will be a wonderful and exciting new chapter in the story of us.
