Where to now?

There's a sign in my yard. A noticeable, friendly sign, informing passersby that, "Hey! This place is for sale!" I'm not sure how I feel about it. We wanted to respectfully share with our neighbors that this sign was going to make an appearance. It seems like a snowball has been shoved down a hill. No stopping now kind of thing. So, there's a sign in my yard. We're officially listed on a fancy realty website. And so now we wait.
We headed back to Ashland today to go to the fair with Ryan's parents and our nephews. The kids had a great time. Rides, cotton candy, animals, the whole bit.  And, it was weird to be there. Being in the familiarity. The comfort of that. I found it harder than I thought. Sitting on top of the ferris wheel with Hope, I was seeing familiar faces, familiar places. And, in the midst of all of that familiarity, there was that feeling of not belonging there, either. That our ship had sailed. So, here we are. Being in that in between. Limbo land.
I am wanting so hard and so much for my children to be at home. Wherever we are. Location doesn't matter. It really doesn't. To feel that feeling of when you come home from vacation and you walk in the door and you smell that smell of family and its like that atmosphere just reaches out and says, "I'm glad you're here!" That. That is what I want. My heart longs for soulfriends for my kids, and for me, and for Ryan. We are so thankful for this time, even in its difficulty, because we are realizing how very precious we all are to each other. The time that we can spend strengthening our relationships, finding new ways to relate to each other, soldiering through all of those difficult times. Most of all, we are realizing the awesome provision of God. Those times are truly priceless. They are truly necessary. I'm praying for grace and the Lord to smooth out those rough patches and to fill what I feel our hearts are lacking.
So meanwhile, there's this sign. :-)
