Today we are celebrating five years in the house by moving all the rooms and furniture around, deep cleaning, and signing the listing paperwork. I've never lived in a place this long, with the exception of my childhood home and that was most definitely NOT by choice. This house has become our home, which means it is time for us to move on. I don't like the permanence and attachment I feel about this place and even just entertaining the idea of moving gets my heart racing. Such excitement and wonder awaits!! I've been thinking about the kind of place I'd like to end up next. I think with the kids ages, we need to plan on settling for a few more years at the next place. The boy will be moving into school-age, with the baby not far behind.
I'd like a place with lots of greens and browns. The kids haven't spent as much time outdoors as I would have hoped for. They also have never seen seasons change. So, we'll be looking north. Here's my ideal wish list:
Trees
Watersource
Open land for gardening
Beach access
Mountain access
Homeschooling friendly
Vegan friendly
I like North Carolina and the Pacific Northwest. Husband poo-pooed Washington State, but is open to Alaska. Does that make sense to you? I didn't think so.
Regardless of where we end up, I know it will be quite the adventure with the wee ones. Tonight we'll be raising our glasses and signing the paperwork to sell our home. Cheers!
