When I was a kid, I spent some time in a small West Virginia town. My grandparents lived there, as well as my great grandmother, a few aunts and uncles and a bunch of cousins. Now, there are just a few cousins left. My Nan and Pops house is empty since my Nan, and my aunt's passing. The family does not want to let the house go to someone outside of the family. They all have their own homes. Mine is sitting vacant, in foreclosure.
As most of you know, my life has been an absolute mess for the last 3 years or so. My hubby and I have had lots of problems. He is trying to get it together. Everyone who doesn't think I should have kicked him to the curb, believes that this change could work wonders for him, and for us.
I hope so. Because I am tired of the roller coaster ride. Besides, my family will kill him if he doesn't keep in line. *winks*
I am nervous about this. I am also excited and elated. I absolutely LOVE this place. Most people wouldn't think it is much. In reality, it isn't. It is small. Not even a stop light in town anywhere. It is isolated. It is quiet. It has its problems, just like everywhere else. But it is beautiful. I feel at peace there. I am anxious to get there, and get settled.
I am hoping to get T to post here as well. I am interested in his thoughts on all of this. I am hoping we can get out together, take pictures... post them here. I am hoping that for the first time in a long time, we can LIVE.

A fresh start is sometimes the best thing no matter what happened to get you there. I'm not sure if you read my blog often but we also just went through a foreclosure. Our home was ours until last Friday November 5th. I cried all day long thinking of the memories we had left behind. We moved to another town (the town we both work in) and have started over. We love the home we are renting and things have truly worked out for the best. I hope the same thing for the 3 of you!
