Yesterday my husband accepted a new job with his company and we are officially going to pack up our life here and move it somewhere else.
The gypsy-soul in me is super excited about all the “new” that will be coming our way.
The old-fashioned-soul in me is pretty teary.
Last weekend we drove over there just to look around.
I just have to tell you, it is gorgeous! The trees, the rolling hills, the rivers, and even the farmland are so beautiful and actually remind me of home.
It seems kind of funny to me how comfortable can take up residence in our cozy lives, then suddenly adventure comes knocking at the back door.
Adventure wins this time! We decided we will be moving on.
How beautiful! I know it’s hard to move. I have relatives near Lebanon and oldest’s best friend from when he was little lives near St. Louis. You will be fine, sounds like a great opportunity for your hubby! Just think, a new house to make into a home!

We’re not quite to the actual moving stage yet. Fixing the houses up so we can put them on the market. Have to sell one first, before we can physically move anything and buy another. So our 3 cats and dog are oblivious that their lives are going to flip upside down! Ha!

I absolutely couldn’t BELIEVE how beautiful that river was. That bridge and reflection was nearly a work of art!
I love what you said about the home vs the houses. That really makes looking sound quite inviting. We drove around those 2 days last weekend with open minds and hearts, just looking for a place to call home. Of all the places we’ve driven by, that river area seems the most like us.
Thank you for your encouragement and sweet words, my kindred spirit! Once we get settled, you and Mr. Farmer will have to come visit! We can cruise around and look for old churches, together! ❤️❤️❤️

Hey sweetie. Sorry for my delay, it was a run around day. You know me soooo well! I have to live near nature it seems. We’ve done the city thing in the past and I’m so over it! Ha!
6 months is probably a fair guess for here as well. The real estate market seems to be picking up a little, which is nice.
Prepare to read some sappy posts through this process! It’s going to be a little tough to leave our home we love! But, I’m sure we’ll love the next one, too! Hugs, dear friend.
