A BIg Move

So....I have been sitting in front of the computer staring for about 1/2 hour. I have started and stopped this post a couple of times. I wanted to make it cute, funny, interesting.....a good story. Thing is......I am just not finding the words. This is all that is on my mind and I need to put it out there. It just needs to be a clean cut, tell it like it is, moment.

We are moving. We have made the decision to move to upstate NY. It is a town about 30 minutes outside of Syracuse. We have been in love with this place for years. We visit all the time. We have talked to more than a dozen locals about what it is like to live there. We have read about it. Looked at a zillion websites. Spent more and more time there. Talked to more and more people there. We have done the research.

We still love it.....even more.

It is scary and big and SCARY but it is what our hearts are telling us to do.

We want to live somewhere beautiful, quiet, and open. That said, there is no way we could live in the hicks somewhere. This place is artsy, cultured, and homey. It has been a dream of mine since I was a kid. I actually found the town of my dreams!

We have doubted this. I mean seriously, a dream come true? This can't be for real!

But it is.

Uprooting our kids, living far from family, not knowing anyone, winters!......these are all legitimate concerns. Rest assured we have thought about, talked about, and prayed about them all.

The conclusion?

We, us and our kids, deserve a shot at this dream. NOW is the time.

Our financial...crap...gave us a jump start. It has been a blessing in disguise. We are turning a negative into a positive. We are taking control of our lives.

We feel empowered and inspired.

I know. I mean like in the heart of my heart.....the deepest part of me.....my soul.....that this is right.

So where do we stand in this moment?

This needs to happen fast. We want the girls to start school there next month. So...we need to rent our place and find a place there...ASAP. ( anyone that feels like manifesting this for us along with me, I would be ever so grateful:-)

I plan on blogging a lot more there. I am going to need to keep those close to me updated on it all:-)
So, thought I better start talking about it now. Get the whole story from the beginning.

I am excited for this journey.......life keeps getting bigger and better.
