I have failed to share my journey to this point, mostly due to lack of internet service. But now in our new "little" house, I can get internet and actually use my computer! Yeah!!
We listed our 1850 sq ft home in May and by July 5th we had moved out and began shopping for our next adventure. We were quickly led to a 1290 sq ft home on 1 acre in town. It was exactly what we were looking for! A smaller house with a big back yard, a shop for my husband and closer to our friends! We moved in this past weekend (August 3rd) and are working like crazy to make it our own.
Our recycling plant, that we have used for quite a while, shut down, so I am very thankful our town has the option of recycling with the trash service (a perk to being forced to have trash service).
If you ask my friends that helped us move, we still have too much stuff! :) But after having so much in storage for the last month, it is even more clear that we don't need what we have.
On a side note, our new house payment is nearly half of what it was! We are already planning an anniversary trip and starting to look at family vacations, etc. I will post pictures of our house and the many projects ahead of us as soon as we get a bit more settled.
