Big things are on the horizon for our family… again. We are trying to place the final piece of the puzzle. I call it phase four.
Phase 1. Sell our home. We jumped right in and sold our house in as little as four weeks. I will let you see the previous post to know why we started this journey.
Phase 2. Move to interim home. Again I will refer to earlier posts for the not so pretty details of this.
Phase 3. Quit my job. Well, not quit but change my status to work-when-I-want. This came a little early because of the need to home school the kids because said interim home was not in a good school district. But believe me, any reason to turn in the pager and work on my terms is a great thing. I have been in this state for a couple of months now. I can not tell you how liberating and wonderful it has been. Homeschooling the kids has not been easy. But I have enjoyed the time together.
And now Phase 4. Buy new house. Yay! After living in such close proximity to one another we welcome the chance to move to a new bigger home. And what a change this home will bring. Exactly what we have been looking for. First off, I think instead of city girl I will be turning into pioneer woman! It is a beautiful log cabin home. That’s right LOG CABIN.
(not our actual home but you get the idea *wink*)
This retreat is nestled in the woods with several acres of room to roam. It comes complete with a fishing hole, creek, amazing garden and room to have livestock. WOW. This is going to take some getting used to! No more pizza delivery. A trip to the grocery store will be a “trip into town”. I look forward to the change, but I am not sure if we know what we are getting ourselves into. You could say we have nervous excitement.
I will not be churning butter (at least not anytime soon)
but I hope to start living a healthy more self sustaining lifestyle. Stay posted as I am sure there will be many adventures to write about soon!
