Full Circle Again

/ Jessica

We are moving, finally. After a year and a half of trying to move, things finally worked out.

My husband was offered a job in a new town on the opposite side of our state and after some heartfelt contemplation about the benefits of moving vs staying put, we grabbed onto our new adventure.

He started working over there three weeks ago and Little Bit and I are trying to get our two properties ready to sell. Last week, we went over to visit him and have a look around.

Oh my gosh!!! You guys are going to LOVE this area. I was so worried that we were leaving our clear water streams and land abounding with nature behind, but guesss what?

Over there, the rivers are clear, there is a National Scenic Riverway, and thousands of acres of National Forest land. I am absolutely sooooooooo excited. Just think of all the new places we will have to explore!

In fact, we’ve already started. Within this past week, we’ve already ventured down several pine tree lined mountain roads, looked for wild horses, hiked around a gorgeous mill, stood on an old rickety wooden bridge, rung the bell at an old schoolhouse, and seen water the color of a stunning blue ocean in an Ozark stream.

Oh, and get this. There is a fishing lake just north of our new town which is pretty cool. You see, about twenty two years ago, my husband and I lived at a lake and went fishing almost every night after work.

When we moved to Marshfield seventeen years ago, things came full circle (you can read about it here, if you like) and as crazy as it seems, my heart just told me, they are coming full circle again.

    • Hiiiiiiiii!!!!!!! I’ve missed you SO much!! Thank you. I appreciate your kind words!! We’re heading over there today for a couple of days. Meeting with the realtor to see if we can find a new to us home. Have a few picked out to see. How’s Iowa? It’s pouring down rain here, which is not making me want to go outside and load my truck. Ha ha. We have a storage unit over there and I was planning on taking a load with us.

Thank you for the best of luck! My husband was able to come home this weekend for the first time in a few weeks. When we saw his truck lights, Little Bit and I got so excited! When we move, we’ll see him every night!!! 🎉🦋🎉

    • Hi.? Thank you for your comments. Oh my gosh! Congratulations! I can totally relate! We’ve been trying to move a year and a half… I’m happy for you that you are on the “moved” end of things! We are still house hunting, packing, and getting the house ready to sell. Those days in the woods are a real treat! ❤️

    • Thank you so much for what you said about the new chapter. That means so much to me. Leaving home is exciting and teary all in one breath.

      I wish those were my windows. One is an old one room schoolhouse. The other is an old National Scenic Riverways building at the entrance to a natural spring. I love reflections, and windows are sometimes the best mirrors. Thank you for your comments. 💕💕💕dows. The white one is from an old one roo
