We both moved a lot as children so we have been in this house for eleven years (and we are only in our mid-thirties). That means I hit number 22 when I turned 23! Staying put for a while now.

I counted every single move, and most of those were during my college years and first couple years of marriage, and I also counted all 6 of the cities I lived in as a missionary.<br /><br />There was a time during my late twenties when I got a little shell-shocked from so much saying goodbye--and from never having the time to keep up with old friends in the midst of making new friends--so I didn't feel like getting to know anyone, since it seemed like it would be so hard to say goodbye. I also felt guilty for not keeping in touch with people I really had cared about. (Facebook and the internet have made keeping in touch SO much easier!)<br /><br />I've been in my current suburban home for 9 years, and although I'm tired of our house itself, we're happy with our schools and neighborhood and doctors and dentist, so we will likely make the house do and stay put while my 5 kids are in their school years, unless a really great home goes up for sale very close by.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-11029244145500076652012-08-12T17:25:48.299-04:002012-08-12T17:25:48.299-04:00At last count I think I hit 30 different places I ...At last count I think I hit 30 different places I have lived and I am thinking I might have missed a few...we moved a ton while I was growing up...!<br />I am happy that my own children have lived in just two homes though who knows they will probably grow up and wished we' d had bigger adventures!<br />And I ALWAYS say good bye even to hotel rooms! <br />Congrats on your new home I can't wait to see it unfold!!!!Lesli at My Old Country Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081045872864580016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-1848595139062854392012-08-12T11:57:49.956-04:002012-08-12T11:57:49.956-04:00PS.

My husband and I have been married...How about 35!!!<br />My husband and I have been married 53 years and have lived in 35 different homes. You name it, small apartments, a mobile home, condominiums, single family ranch, colonial and even a bi-level. We are now in a single family 2050 sq.ft. home in a DelWebb community. I was a Realtor specializing in New Construction, my husband was in the A.F and then moved quite often in his civilian job. All explaining the fun of trying new living!!! Have fun....Enjoy each experience!Patty Day @Pattys Epiphanieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16799422773155306732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-42392604172171816882012-08-12T03:06:08.165-04:002012-08-12T03:06:08.165-04:00I never have time to say goodbye as I like to ensu...I never have time to say goodbye as I like to ensure everything is packed up properly and every room is spotless before I leave.

The Army has us moving every 2-3 years and I've got at least 16 years left as an Army wife. Moving is a lifestyle - I get restless if I'm in one place too long.

I think of all the dinners, all the laughter, all the blood sweat and tears to get the paint color exactly right and even then think it probably could have been better... it's nice to connect with the emotion rather than the superficiality and that's why it's worth so much more than this idle text.

We left our longest ever place (ten years) a few months ago and began missing it about three months before moving out. I mean really, really missing it. On the final day as I was cleaning, I said goodbye to each room and then finally closed the door on it. But you know, once we'd gone we missed it far less than we would have anticipated. Certainly less than while we were still there and anticipating leaving.<br /><br />I'm excited about your brownstone and looking forward to seeing pictures of it.<br /><br />PP<br />pimpmybricks.wordpress.compimpmybricks.wordpress.comhttp://pimpmybricks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-28008869731709723122012-08-11T00:08:28.383-04:002012-08-11T00:08:28.383-04:00I'm so happy for you and your family.

(SW states to Canada, East coast to west and a few smaller moves)<br /><br />And if you see this I have to say I just bought an English roll arm sofa. We've been a month in our newest house (rental) with no sofa. I kind of didn't care because this move has been hard in itself. Once the sofa was in the living room I kept coming back to our newly "homey" room. I learned about this style of sofa from your blog and it makes me so happy!
