Five years ago today we moved to our new home in the Glengarry. It was a freezing, clear day and we had the help of many friends and family to make the move as smooth as possible.
I'll never forget how excited and nervous I was - I had moved many, many times in my *single life*, but when we built our house in Aylmer, we though it was for keeps... so this move was bitter sweet. With my family in tow we bid farewell to our old house and embarked on a new journey.
I loved the house here in the Glengarry and felt quite lucky to have found a brand new home to move into. I was nervous though, because I really didn't know a lot of people and because I was going to start to work from home, my social life was going to take a back burner.
The kids started at the local daycare centre and settled in beautifully. I got into a great routine working from home. We actually got to see Hubby during the week. Things just seemed to fall right into place...
When you're born and raised in a small town, you are christened with a community bond - I feel so blessed to have had that kind of childhood. And now, I'm thrilled that my kids will also have that same connection to a community.
To all of the locals that have been so kind and took me under their wing - thank you! Even though I wasn't born and bred here in the Glengarry, I'm proud to be an honorary Glengarian! It's a great place to call home.
