On the move!

Jason and I recently made a huge radical decision to ditch our digs and move in with the parents! We've all played around with the notion for years, especially when Mom and Dad bought a big house with a huge upstairs (enough to hold two families... maybe they had this all planned from the start). We officially moved in at the beginning of July and are now working on our home to sell it. At first, I really thought, "We'll see how long this lasts," but honestly I'm loving this move more and more every day. Our bills, of course, have gone down very significantly, so that's a plus... but it's so much more than that. We are creating traditions with our family that I wish we had done a long time ago. For example, tonight we all sat down at the table (no TV allowed!) and we read from the Bible before we gave thanks for our food. It was really nice.
Because of the move, we've been purging both of our households. I personally restocked Goodwill in the past 2 weeks. I'm in a throwing out and giving away mood. I've kept very little and I haven't missed any of the garbage clogging up my home that I "just had to have!" I think we took 14 bags of clothes to Wear Me Again. How on earth did we have that many clothes to get rid of? We are really reevaluating how we live and I really like the adjustments we're making.
I was afraid that I would feel like "I moved back home". Honestly, it doesn't feel that way. Even Jason is glad to be here. I know it makes him feel more at ease about leaving us at night for work. He used to hate that so badly.
I also got to redecorate! One day my mom and I were walking around an antique store, and found the idea for my bedroom. Someone had taken several interesting pieces of furniture and other odds and ends and painted them black them put them against a brightly colored wall. I went a bit crazy with some black spray paint, but I ended up with a really beautiful room. It's a really neat place to come home to.
Both of the girls also got bedroom makeovers and I was so excited with each of theirs. Anna decided that she loves zebra print and Faith had picked out a really pretty pink and green quilt. We had our inspiration, so we went with it. I'll have to post pics. They turned out so pretty!
I wish we had done this a long time ago.
I'm not saying that everyone should sell their home and move in with their parents or in-laws, but it's really working for us.
