On the Move

If it's been a while since I last blogged it's because our house is officially on the market. Many people are asking why we're selling our house, so I'd like to take this great opportunity to share. When we moved to Texas it was a great opportunity for our family to live in a lower cost of living area and save money, which is exactly what we did. The market has picked up in Texas and it seems like the best opportunity to sell. Four years ago, we traded palm trees for rolling hills, the ocean for man made lakes, and concrete block for brick. Although we have enjoyed living here, we are ready to get our lives settled, plant our roots, and enjoy watching our children grow up.....near our families.
Moving back to Florida could cause so many problems it’s not even funny. For starters, we both have good paying, stable (as they can be) jobs right now. We should just be thankful for that. And we are. We’re fortunate that we can pay our mortgage. We’re lucky that we’ve got property to grow our own garden, room for the kids to play, and have privacy that we thought we’d never be able to afford. But, we are 20 hours away from our families and I miss them (and the beach).
There are just some things that are more important in life, and this os one of them.
