Back and re-evaluating

February 16th, 2012 at 04:15 pm

I am back after a hiatus. A lot has happened. We bought a house. My husband quit his job and is opening a business. And we survived the holidays. But I have a lot to think about.

So we bought a house in the country. And when I say country I mean OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS, NO SUBDIVISION, NO STORE FOR 15-20 MILES COUNTRY. And although the new house will cut my commute down about 15-20 minutes, I think I will have to think about my processes and thought paths. Now I can't run down to the store for mile or trashbags! The store is only 15-20 minutes away, but its still not as close as it was. On a positive note, at least I can't just run up the street and do impulse shopping anymore!

2nd thing - Husband and New Business
I have the most faith in my husband, but I have to admit that it is scary. Its scary to go from financially secure to "hold on to your pants." But we do have the seed money for the store and money for our household expenses until the store is going. Hopefully we will be open next week!

But hopefully I can make some progress on paying off the debt and pursuing dreams and goals of my own. I am looking into ways to cut bills, coupon, and just live a more simple life. Can't wait.

    Good luck to you both! I use to live 20 miles from the closest store. Every trip to town counts!

    That sure is a lot to take on! Being far from the store might just turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Maybe... Or not. Good luck with the store.

    I live about 40 minutes away from the nearest Pizza Hut. That has been a blessing for me because I can't give into the temptation to order a pizza, no matter how tempted I am! Big Grin
