Giving Up Our Dream...For Now Anyway.
Today we made the decision to take our house off the market. For those of you who didn't know, we've had it for sale since October. We've been dreaming of having a home a little more out in the country with room for a little hobby farm (chickens, a horse etc). We still would really like to have that someday, but I don't think now is the right time. The home we are in right now is much more affordable and with our business here still being pretty new it's probably better not to stress ourselves out more with a bigger house payment. On one hand it kind of kills me to postpone our dream but on the other hand I like the house we are in and I'm looking forward to doing a little more decorating here (some paint, curtain, etc). Today I heard a snippet of a Sheryl Crow song that says something about "not having what you want, but wanting what you've got". That's what I've decided to do, just be really happy about what I do have and make the most of it.

As much as I would love to have a bigger house, I don't want to be working soley to make my house payment. I enjoy the way David and I are able to live our lives right now and the freedom we have. Besides, even though our house is a little small, I really love it-especially since we did the remodel.
You're not giving up your dream, you're just putting it on hold for a while. I'm beginning to realize that when things are really meant to be, everything else starts falling into place very quickly! Your dream will happen-it just may not be exactly when YOU want it to!
Janet, I totally agree with you. When things are meant to be, they do fall into place pretty quickly. Moving to Idaho was that way. This however has definitely not fallen into place and as much as I wanted it to, I kinda had a feeling all along that it wasn't going to happen. Not right now anyway.
Nothing like postponing. Annoying? For sure, but you're right, somehow things just fall into place.
Hope it's sooner than later!
