We are
shucking it all!
I have
made the decision to leave Boise and start my life over in a new place. I will no longer be the Thrifty Mom In
Boise. Instead I will be the Thrifty Mom
From Boise. There are a multitude of reasons supporting
my decision to do this. The most
important one is to improve my quality of life.
I have
an idea where my final destination may be but I am not 100% sure. My plan is to wend my way in that direction
and see what happens. For someone who is
anything but spontaneous, this is a huge departure from my norm. I am a planner. I like to know what to expect. I need to know the ending before I even get
started. That sounds kind of nuts if you
really think about it.
Not
this time. I am making myself do
something completely different.
Usually
when I know my destination I charge ahead and we get there. If you have ever travelled with me you know I
stop when I get there. If you need to
pee (sorry about that one time Mom) you’d better do it while I’m gassing up or
else you will be in trouble later. I’ve
always had an agenda and a timeline.
Not
this time.
The
hardest part about this decision and the process to get ready to go has been
saying “see you later” to my friends and family. “Good Bye” isn’t an option. I’m not fond of good byes, anyway. We all need to stay in touch and I really
think most of us will.
I’ve
caused quite a few tears lately and for that I feel badly, but not enough to
stick around.
Sorry!
I’m
excited, my girls are excited, our two cats are… well maybe not so much, but we
are going on a great adventure. One of
my friends told me he thinks I’m like a little kid. He likes that I seem to have found my spark
again. I think he might be right about
that.
I can
hardly wait to see what happens!
I am excited for you. I wish you well and hope you end up as happy as we are now.
ReplyDeleteWe are very excited. It is going to be great!!
DeleteBest of luck to you! I admire that as it is something I would never be able to do.

Very exciting and yes, a little scary. More exciting though. I rented out my house and the new tenants are keeping the chickens. They are really excited about it.
DeleteSounds fun & exciting!!! Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carla!!
DeleteWow! You've been pretty busy lately! I'm truly excited for you. We've toyed with the idea of moving crazy far away from where we are now, but ultimately we're living God's plan so we'll go where ever He takes us (or doesn't!). Many blessings to you as you make this journey. Keep us updated!!
ReplyDeleteI truly believe this is His plan for me. I will definitely keep everyone updated as this all unfolds.
