A new chapter on the journey

It seems like it has been months and even years that I have been discussing moving into a newer house. We have been living at our place for the last 7 1/2 years. Lots of memories and special times have happened in our place. I've grown very attached to it. This has been the longest we have lived anywhere and there are many great things about where we live. There had been a lot of pressure over the last few months for us to move. This caused me a lot of sleepless nights and anxiety. I hate moving. Absolute fucking HATE to move!! I can't stand all the changes that moving can create and sometimes it doesn't solve anything. We did move into a bigger house many years ago. It was in a very new area and a huge house with all the fancy trimmings. We had a lot of trouble "keeping up with the Jone's" though. The house was way too hard to keep clean too. It caused us way too much worry and energy and wasn't worth it. I fell in love with our place the moment we saw it. I didn't even need to look inside. I just knew that this would be a perfect family townhouse for the Skywalker's. I wanted to raise my kids in this place. The location was perfect. The neighborhood was quaint and quiet. I've enjoyed living here. We had to make a decision though about moving. We looked for other places but none of them seemed to compare. We were also very limited in choices of where to move because of the kids and their schools. Leia is going into grade 10 and will be graduating in a few years. Skywalker's school is one of the best around. I am very happy in our location and still love our house. We made a decision this summer to not move and stay here in our cute little family home. This meant making some big changes though for it to happen. Our daughter finally got her own room. Skywalker is sleeping in his own place now too. We decided to invest in new stuff for our place as well as remodel and redecorate. We didn't have any plans this long weekend so we decided to devote the time into making our place look great! Today is day 5. Every single day has been spent cleaning, painting, moving stuff around and getting rid of tons of junk. It's amazing how much stuff you can accumulate after so many years of having kids. I couldn't believe some of the things that I found, especially when cleaning out my closet. Old memories from old lovers. Special keepsakes from the baby years. Many memories with stuff that I inherited from my Dad too. I decided to pack up all our photo albums. We are keeping them but I wanted them out of sight and our bedroom. I felt like I was living too much in the past recently. I kept going through old pictures and feeling sad all the time. It was time to move forward instead of backwards through time. This meant a fresh new start. We also painted our place for the first time since we moved in. I have not painted walls before. I did help my dad help paint our fence when I was a young girl but barely remember it. I've always wanted to try painting and it's on my bucket list: #156 -Try painting sometime We spent most of our overnight painting the walls. There was so many marks and smudges on the walls. I was amazed at how great the place looked when we were done. This was a really neat project that I was able to do with Master. It helped us to connect and spend some time together and also get creative. We have played together the last two nights also. This helped us to feel extra connected and close this long weekend. He used his belt and the whip and a few paddles to motivate my ass and getting it working hard for him. I got rewarded with an orgasm every night for my good behavior. He's also used a few other rewards to help motivate me. I've gotten a few yummy desserts and really nice merlot at the end of the day. I'm feeling a lot more positive about the future and what lies ahead. Lots of new changes and a new chapter for me on my journey. May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala
