Life's Unexpected Turns

C. L. and I have been talking about making some big changes to our home for years now. We were dreaming of things we never expected to really be able to do with me just writing and soaping part time while I schooled the kids and him working as a teacher. But then last year happened, and he came out of it with a much better job.

We began thinking about actually making steps toward our dream happen. The only issue was having to wait a year or two for C. L. to have enough time on the job to get a loan for such a thing, based on everything we'd heard in the past. We said as much to his grandmother on a call last week, and she encouraged us to go ahead and try before we write off the possibility for a year or more. She's a rather savvy woman when it comes to such things, so we took her advice.

To our shock, it's beginning to look like we may be able to go ahead within the next month or two, depending on estimates!

Things are still very much up in the air. We don't know if or when we'll get started, but if things go well, it could be as soon as mid-March. If so, I might have to revisit my goals for the next few quarters.

Coming out the other side with a space dedicated to work would be a huge help in the long run though.

It's funny how we were so panicked about how what happened with the school would affect us, and it's turned out to at least appear to work out in our favor.
