Hi everyone,

Here it is nearly 2 years later. I've spent that time getting a new vehicle, making repairs on my house when I had the money to spend on supplies, and watching my job slowly die, which it did on July 11th. In the meantime, I put my house up for sale June 16th, and by July 4th, I had a buyer! There have been some hitches in the process and some things that needed and still need to be worked out, but I am hoping to close by the end of the month. I won't be making as much as I would have liked, but it is more than the minimum I was willing to accept, and it will be enough for me to move up to the mountains. I am both excited and paralyzed with fear at the same time and try not to think of all that will need to be done. My house has been my comfort zone the last 15 years, but I knew I needed to make changes, and now they are starting to materialize. I have always remembered this post and how I felt when I posted it, and everyone's encouragement about going for my dream. It meant a lot to me. Now, I am about to step out into the great unknown, and move to the area that is the only thing and place that could have motivated me to be willing to take this risk, and leave my isolating comfort spot. Please pray for me, as I know I will need all the strength I can get to do all that I need to do. I will update when I can! Thanks to all.
