Ch-ch-changes….
December 8th, 2005 by HenIt’s a week for changes.
Firstly, I’m flying off to San Diego tomorrow for a week. With the exception of a 2 day period a couple of weeks ago (more on that later), I’ve not been away from my wife in a long time and I’ve never been away from my son (with the exception of those 2 nights recently….).
Secondly, we put our house up for sale two days ago. We’ve been here for three and a half years, and this is our first home of our very own, so it’s a big step to be leaving it. It’s where Nathan cried out his first night outside a hospital, where he crawled his first few inches to undo my shoe laces and where he walked his first steps. My parents moved when I was three and when my sister was Nathan’s age, so I know what it’ll be like for him. We’ll mention ‘the house’ every now and then for the next N years, and to him it’ll be nothing more than those two words and a world of context. Still, maybe we can show him the place one day.
Thirdly, I handed my notice in at work yesterday. I’ve been there for 4 years and a week, so it’s a pretty big change. More on where I’m going once I check with my new employers to ensure I can mention things
