The Great Reboot

We have dubbed October 2015 as "The Great Reboot".  Why?  Because our entire house project has taken a very major turn.  The closer we moved toward erecting our home in Senoia, the more I longed to stay right here in Inman.  It is my home. I was born here. I lived here for the first 18 years of my life. I love it here. My heart is here. Not only that, but my education program is here. I was going to have to put ALL that on hold while we were building our house, and have to build a place to use for classes on our property in Senoia. The farm, the classes, everything was on hold (or scaled down) to be considered after the house could be built. Well, we are STAYING and building HERE!!!

Behind my parents' house is a piece of property that I have been in love with since my childhood. I literally remember the first time I ventured through the woods, past the old shack, and found "the meadow". I swore it was magical. Elves and fairies lived there. The sun shone through the trees. It was my fairy-tale location... And now, it is OURS!!! Our animals can now graze in the pasture behind us, and our house will be built behind my parents!!




I know that we already had a foundation somewhere else. We worked HARD on it. The driveway, the clearing, tearing down the shack (Jeff and I have bought A LOT of shacks)... It was so much work. But, that is not a good enough reason to keep moving forward when it doesn't fit. I live a no-regrets life. This is where I belong.... Where my children belong... Where my program belongs.
