MOVING DAY

We finally have a moving day. The house should be finished this coming week. All the work should be done by Wednesday and we will be moving the week after Easter. Our move in day is April 16th. It will take two days to pack, one to load and two to unload. The thing I like least about moving is packing. Having people come into our home and put everything in boxes is stressful. We have moved several times in the last 25 years and though I don't mind moving I still don't like the turmoil that comes with packing. I don't mind unpacking. I can only hope Nora doesn't mind seeing things packed or unpacked.

Nora is very excited about the new house. We have talked about moving all our things to the new house but I'm not sure she understands it all. She knows our beds, chairs, tables, television, toys and refrigerator (a very important item to Nora) will be going to the new house so we can stay there. She also knows her backyard play set will be moved to the new backyard. I'm not sure how she will feel about seeing the old house empty. I guess we will soon find out.

NORA GLENYS

I got a comment from Rambling Mother because she has a daughter named Glenys. It isn't a very common name. I thought this was a perfect opportunity to share how Nora's name came to be.

We wanted Nora to have a name that would remind her of her heritage so we chose a Latin name that is also an Irish name if you spell it differently. NORA is the Latin word for menorah, the Hebrew word for light. The name GLENYS is Gaelic and works well with our Irish last name. We chose it for it's meaning. It means beautiful and holy. The name NORA GLENYS means beautiful and holy light when you put it all together. We like the sound of the names together and hope that Nora will one day appreciate the meaning.
