Welcome family and friends! I’m going to give this blogging thing a go. As most of y’all are aware, our family has big adventures ahead of us and we are STOKED! I’m thinking this little blog can be a fun way to keep those of you interested in the shenanigans up to date. HOPEFULLY it won’t be just me (Lindsay) posting to this. I foresee many “guest” posts from the kids and I may be able to twist Nathan’s arm from time to time! We’ll be able to share pictures and happenings without it all getting dumped on Facebook. Lol!  So, I’ll use this first time as a “what the hell, exactly, are we doing” kind of post, but cliff notes version.

<deep inhale>

After many years of longing for a simpler, less expensive life, fate/destiny/….a horse(somebody better get that) brought us to the decision that we didn’t have to wait for retirement to leave the big city. We decided on the Tyler area for relocation due to its likeness of big cities, but with affordable rural areas surrounding it. Think property taxes, y’all. We put our Atascocita house on the market…it sold in a week…and we thought, well this IS the plan now! Thankfully, within a few weeks we had ourselves a farmhouse on 2 acres on the west side of Tyler secured. (I’m saving an entire post for the awesomeness and perfection of this house for later) At this very moment, Atascocita house closes on the 22nd and our new home closes within the week after that.

<long exhale> 😉

So, there will be posts about doing our “farming thing”, homeschooling adventures, renovating the house, and when we take a break from all of that and do some traveling. I think I’m going to have fun with this and I hope it serves it’s dual purpose of keeping y’all in the loop.
