I fully believe that you have to appreciate your everyday life and not live so much in the future that you lose site of the present -- but this can sometimes be a struggle for me. Is it my ambition? My lofty ideas? Or my inappropriate discontentment with the here and now which propels me forward? I don't want to ever take for granted all of the blessings of my life, but yet I also don't want life to pass me by and for me to realize that we have made big mistakes.
What I am trying to say is that we are moving again. Our house is on the market and we are starting down a new path that will *hopefully* lead us back to central Austin closer to taco shack and the public library and central market. Further away from the sweater vests and think-they-are-rich-because they-live in-4ooo-square- foot- front- entry- garage- house -neighbors we have. So it all started with an offer from some friends of ours who have a fairly new custom home building business to give us a killer deal on building a house. Our wheals started turning and suddenly, as ideas started in conversations of marriages sometimes do, the idea took on a life of its own. It is a great idea -- but it will be a lot of work.
God I love our house, and it will be hard to leave all this space, but deep down it isn't a good fit for us to live out here. Sure it is only 15-20 minutes from our old central Austin neighborhood, but it could be anywhere U.S.A. and not Austin, Texas. So here we go, off on another adventure with goals and dreams in hand - and a venti starbucks vanilla latte in the other.
