This is the first time I have had a chance to see pics of the house and land…
Do you DARE regret any bit of your decision!
It may be rough, but most of us would give anything to have the drive and determination you and Brian had!!

I am so envious!!!

Keep me posted always!

I just found your blog from the Knitter’s blogring. I, like you, left the rat race of Atlanta back in 2001 and moved to a beautiful farm NW of Nashville about 65-70 miles. My husband and I still commute to Nashville but it’s worth it coming home. I admire your big jump as well. Arkansas is a beautiful state as well. Atlanta has a big draw and it did for us when we moved there, but after 13 years, it was time to come home. We don’t do anything but some hay but it’s very quiet and peaceful. Looking forward to hearing more of your progress.

Girlfriend, you are not lucky, you are BLESSED! As I read the post I was yelling at the monitor, “No! No way! You’re kiddng! Oh, you’re killing me!” What a wonderful story. I wish you and your family all the best in your new home.

P.S. I feel hubby’s pain. I’m a teacher. Moved from CT to DC area. I KNOW exactly how much it sucks to be making peanuts (and putting up with nonsense) as a substitute teacher when you’re used to having your own classroom and making decent money. At least you have each other—-my cat hasn’t offered to take a part-time job to help with expenses…

Wow! What a beautiful home, and a gorgeous piece of property! I wish hubby would leave his job and move to the country somewhere, but he’s so happy in his job I can’t push the issue without feeling like a jerk!

And I’m SO jealous of how quickly you sold your home! We’re still on the market after 2 months – between the market tanking around here and being in a rowhome (albeit in a desireable area) it’s tough to sell right now. Can’t wait to sell and get a house with a REAL yard!
