moving memories

as i posted the other day, everything is happening all at once. how do people do this all the time? in the almost ten years js and i have been married, we have moved five times, not including this upcoming move to a house. that's almost once every two years! three of those have been cross country moves.

we're not military. we're not government employees that have to move with the job. i guess it comes with going to school and getting jobs in different parts of the country. why do i feel as if we've moved more than the "normal" american family? is it because both of us grew up in pretty much one house from the time we were born? i know that my parents moved when i was six months old to the house where i grew up, but otherwise there was no moving around.

this will be the third home for pbs. he's only two! i'm sure he doesn't remember our west coast home and may not remember our current home but we will. we have many pictures and videos of both of those places. he'll probably remember the pictures more than the physical home itself. although he still talks about a trip we took to florida a few months ago with my parents. maybe he will remember more than i think he will.

we will make this new house our home and create new memories. eventually, we might decide to move again but hopefully not in the near future. although i'm hesitant about this move, i am excited to start a new chapter in our lives. so now we just have to move the memories that we already have and make room for new ones.
