If you follow me over on Instagram, you already know this, but we moved! We’re finally, somewhat, settling in, so now I can share more about it here on the blog.
If you have never lived 3 hours from your spouse while prepping and selling a house, while also homeschooling a large family, well – I don’t really recommend it. Whew. It was an adventure. We survived though, and are all so glad to be on this side of it now.
We closed the sale of our previous home in early March, but a few weeks before that we bought our new (really old) house. We aren’t certain how old it is, or what kind of house it started as, but currently our home is a 4 bedroom, 1 bathroom, with an office type space and a (extra large!) laundry room, ranch-ish style.
*Yes, we downsized. Yes, it was intentional! More on that later.*
We have lots of work to do, and I can’t wait to share it all with you! However, just like everyone else building or remodeling right now, a big part of the project is just waiting on supplies. At this point, most of what we have done has been the necessary, but less exciting stuff (like a new breaker panel and putting up electric fencing for our animals), but we have big plans for our new space.
I’ll share more about those in another post, along with some before pictures. Be sure to sign up for the email updates to see the progress!
Ugh we just did long distance for 8 months then 4 months living with family until our new house was ready to move into. I only have 2 preschool/k aged kiddos, so cannot imagine real homeschooling on top of that! On the plus side, though, it was nice not being woken up at all hours of the night during on call weeks or storms or really all the flipping time lbh 🤣
Oh goodness, yes! The phone not ringing at 3 am was a plus! lol I don’t ever want to do long distance that long again though. It was rough!
