Here we go….
This blog idea is a work in progress. Forgive me while I learn
Who? What? What?!?!?! Yeah. Us too. The quick version of the back story here: I had some health issues about 3 years ago (things are much improved) but it made the husband and I take stock of our lives, where we are, where we’ve been and where do we want to go from here. We want to see things! We want to live in a different place and really get to know it. We want to experience the world. We were fortunate enough that his supervisors were willing to find a way to work with this crazy idea. He’s worked remotely for a while now – he’s just going to be really remote sometimes, to support us on our grand adventure.
The house is sold. The emptiness seems to make it easier to say goodbye. A wonderful, young family has purchased it and will add their memories to the ones we’ve made here. A house is more than the materials it is built from. It is the people and their thoughts, emotions and actions that make a house a home. The new owners know that they are getting a home. A happy home. Not a perfect home, but a happy one.
I’m wrapping up my full time employment. My boss couldn’t be more supportive. I will miss everyone there and it has been a fantastic place to work.
Saying goodbye (see you later really) to friends and family is hard. Saying goodbye to my therapist, acupuncturist, massage therapist, and medical providers (you know who you are!) is hard. Saying goodbye to this beautiful valley that we have been blessed to live in is hard. Tulips will always make me think of home. But a grand, new adventure awaits!
Come along. I hope you enjoy the ride –
