Sometimes change is a good thing. Right?!
We are moving. And I don’t mean down the street or to the next town over. We are moving from Massachusetts, where I have lived since childhood, my husband & children since birth, to South Carolina. Why, you ask? Because we want a change. We want warm weather and beaches year round. We are sick of snow and freezing temperatures. Because we feel stuck.
We knew we needed to move. To a bigger house. In another town. But everywhere we looked locally, just didn’t do it for us. So we did it. We picked a warm state, researched the hell out of it, hopped on a plane to check it out and ta-da…we bought a house! 900-something miles away from home. Away from our family and friends.
We have NO idea if we are making the right decision. We will give it some time, see how it goes. If we hate it, we move back.
But I decided something. I no longer want to just live to survive. I want to live a life that I love. I want to live laid back, easy breezy and happy. I was sick of waking up every day at 5am to get ready for work, drive an hour, get to work for 730, work until 5 and then drive an hour home…only to repeat it all over again the next day. It was like a vicious cycle that only I could break.
I want to do what makes me happy. I want to write more. Maybe finally write that book. I want to relax for a few (I’ll take the rest of the year off and figure out what I want to do later). I just want to be present again.
So here we are. We bought a house somewhere new, I quit my job and said goodbye to everyone I love (SUPER freaking hard). Will we love it? Who knows! But we’re excited (and nervous as hell) to find out.
Stay Tuned!
