Funny thing about our dreams. We can put them aside, and get stuck in the day to day, but they are still there. We can get discouraged, and want to give up. But that dream just keeps coming back.
Here we are months later, and while we aren't making any progress toward moving to Wallace, we are still set on it. For a bit we thought, maybe we will just by a place a bit further out of town but still here in Central Washington. That was our thoughts for a few months. I admit, mostly winter months, when I couldn't imagine dealing with all the snow in Idaho. However, spring is here, and the longing is back. I don't want to live here anymore. I want that different lifestyle. I want the small town. I want to be near the lake. I want to be on the mountain trails. I want to slow down!
We are still a ways off from getting the hell out of here. That can be discouraging. But it is still our goal. We have worked out a few things to help us get in a better financial position soon. And we are continuing to work on the house. The hardest part is the tornadoes also known as children that make such huge messes. So my next proactive step is to start packing.
Yes, packing. Sounds strange, but, we can't sell the house with all the stuff and clutter. So why not start packing stuff up that we don't use often? And why not have yardsales, and donate stuff we don't use anymore? That way, it's easier to keep the house clean, and once we are ready to go on the market, a lot of the work is done.
Finally, here is another house that I love:
