You are a smart guy. Where do you want to be in 10 years ?

Thank you for the concern, but I don't think the past two weeks are any indication of my future. I don't ever expect to buy a new house and move all my belongings out of the house that has been home for 23 years.
This is especially stressful because I am leaving a home that I love. Just finished remodeling it a year ago. The stress of a major remodel was considerable, but it was worth it. We made it into our "forever house" and never expected to leave.
We find ourselves saying things like, "Remember when we built that?" "We painted that room together, on New Years Eve 2010" "I love this kitchen" all the time. We have so many memories here. Picking up and moving into someone else's dream home is taking more of an emotional toll than we ever expected.
It will get better. Going through this is not a lifestyle I have to change, it's just something I have to get through.
