As you may know, we have our house up for sale. So far it has just consisted of a FSBO sign in our yard which does not generate much traffic since we are tucked away in a neighborhood. We have been meaning to put it on the MLS since January 1st. Why have we been dragging our feet? Mainly it has been me. We don't really have a specific "house" or neighborhood that we are looking to move to. We just know that this house and neighborhood are not best for our family. So when I look at the MLS listings, I am a little discouraged that I don't see the perfect home in the same school district. I have been struggling with the Faith that God will orchestrate it all. We don't want a bigger or fancier house. We want a place where our kids feel free to be as silly and creative as they want to be.
So where does the Big Adventure come in? Well, as you know...... Rob and I have the adventure in our blood. Traveling, moving from Bellingham to Lynden, changing careers at all ages, taking a month long roadtrip in our trailer, moving across the country to a place we had never been before. We love it. Sometimes it's hard, but it is exciting and life feels to short to not adventure out!
We love Nashville. We do not regret our decision to move out here. Rob LOVES his job. The kids love their school and have some great friends.
But Rob and I have a little itch..... maybe I do more than he does, but it's there. And the thought of moving across town to both of us isn't as exciting as moving on to another Adventure. Where? What? No idea. Maybe it is just across town, maybe it is a new school, maybe it is a new city, maybe it is something we never imagined, maybe it is our lives now, but with a twist or a little better than we thought it could be. But I am going to put the house on the MLS this week, pray and have faith that God will lead us and fulfill those desires of our hearts and scratch that itch.
Hi Kari,
ReplyDeleteJust saw your link in Lindsey's sidebar and thought I'd pop in to say, "Hi."
We know ALL about adventures. Have you heard about our BIG adventure this year? After 21 years of teaching, Jim "Hung Up His Chalk", looking for a new adventure. We looked at possibilities all over the west coast ... having NO IDEA that the Lord would actually leave us in NW Washington. But ... He did move us out of Lynden ... to the MOST unlikely of places.
Jim is in full-time ministry ... pastoring a LITTLE CTK on Lopez Island in the San Juans. And ... we LOVE it!!!
Best way to "encourage" the Big Kids to move out ... move to a deserted island with no jobs, no college, no "room in the inn". Yep ... last summer we had 12 of our kids living at home, but we moved to the island with only 6.
Hope you all are doing well!!
Laurel :)
