Dreamy Summer
Daydreamy that is...
As my husband and myself are approaching a certain age that is not considered youngsters, we find ourselves thinking hard and often about our future. We feel like now is the time (even though younger would have been better!) to really consider how we would like to live our older years together. We are young enough, and healthy enough, to make our future comfortable...if we work on it NOW.
We have some lofty goals to meet.
We have moved over fourteen times during our marriage. Most moves were job transfers. Because of the temporary timeline of some of these jobs, we made a decision to rent rather than buy. Renting was necessary until we were in a place we would "settle". Since we have been in our current area for about 5 1/2 years, I guess we are staying. We now find ourselves at a point in life where most of our peers may be paying off their mortgages, or close to it. We find ourselves just beginning. We are finally ready to buy.
We have located the perfect spot of land. We have so many great ideas to make this spot a wonderful place of memory making for our grandchildren. We are so excited. We find ourselves daydreaming over coffee in the mornings, finding awesome ideas on the internet in the afternoon, and continuing to talk about house plans as we lie down at night.
We will have to make a few sacrifices but the end result will be completely worth it. We have planned several different scenarios of temporary living quarters as we build our dream home. Thankfully I'm a country girl at heart. I'll welcome the adventure. Working on our own land and building a home will be a dream of a lifetime for us both.
