After the big FOR SALE SIGN surprise last week I wanted to share some details. Granted, this won't be all the details cause we are still working out some of the details and therefore I can't share them since I don't know... but here goes.
Eric and I have been dreaming about a simpler life in a big city. Oxymoron much? Not quite. You see, we bought our beauty of a house (selfish plug here - is for sale, email me), when we thought we would settle down and start a family, put down some roots, buy some furniture, etc.
Fast forward a few years and thats not really our dream anymore. Well, it still kinda is, just not in the same way we thought it would be. Now, we have dreams of living in a much smaller home, having only 1 car, walking to the grocery store, living with less, traveling and changing the world.
Why now? Why not? Since I have another year in grad school, it will be a little while before we make any MAJOR changes but since we know our home will make someone very happy, and we are zoned for awesome schools, we thought we would see if someone might want to call it their new home before the school year starts.
So, that's about all I can share now. I hope you don't mind if I get a little philosophical about making these life changes - I hope you'll share with me too.
Good luck to you! My four kids are grown and although 2 are still living here trying to find jobs and one still in college, I will be sizing down as soon as we can! I like the idea of one car (they are way too much trouble) and walking places. Keep us posted!
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to see the last post since y'all have poured sweat equity into your beautiful house! But, I can't wait to hear what happy changes the future holds for you two. I'd love to read any posts "philosophizing" about life changes because I love hearing about where people are in life. There's just so much that everyone can learn from each other! Good luck with the house sale!
ReplyDeleteI think this is awesome. I'm so anxious to hear about where your plans will take you. A larger city 1.5 hours up north perhaps? Pretty please?!
