Day 96: This is a close up shot of a small ding on my hardwood floor at Lovely House. One year ago today I moved into my Lovely House, and during the course of the move my washing machine slipped from the grip of my wonderful moving crew, landed on my "brand-new-to-me" pine floors, and produced this dent. Before I could even react, my good friend V quickly said, "Well there is your first memory mark!" I didn't really understand what she meant at the time...at the time I was more worried about the floor. But you know what? She was right. Every single time I notice the mark (which isn't that often, admittedly) I think of that day. That beautiful sunny crisp frosty day that I began to make this house into my Home, thanks to the help of some amazing Friends and Family. That memory, those thoughts, make me really happy. It's been a heck of a year for sure. Lots of loss, but lots of joy too. Today marks the beginning of a new story. I'm stoked to say that I've got a new roomie moving in! A good Friend has secured a job here in OS and I couldn't be more thrilled. I've spent the weekend preparing and making things as lovely and welcoming as I can make them, and am looking forward to her arrival. Hopefully her move-in won't result in any other "move-in-memories", but if it happens, then I'm sure it too will become something I'll look back on with a smile. #100happydays
