Growing up as an Air Force brat, we moved around a lot, so it was difficult to call any one place ?home? ? home is where the Air Force sends you, right? And of course, wherever your family is! Even after my dad took his last assignment and my parents bought a house, it didn?t feel permanent. Within a few years I was on my way to college.
And college brought a lot of moving as well. Each year (sometimes semester) found me in a new location. After college I stayed put for just a couple of years. Then I got married and we moved three times in two years. Every move has just been temporary, and when it feels temporary, it?s hard (at least for me) to really connect to people and let myself get comfy. Such is the life of a renter.
But last week we bought a home ? a place to call our very own for years to come. I find myself thinking about all the memories will make and the friendships we?ll share and it gives me a cozy peaceful feeling. Like we?re no longer wanderers ? that now we really and truly belong.
What about you? Have you lived in the same place for ages? Or do you move frequently? What makes a house a home to you?
