| Sold! Farewell, Minnesota! |
A few weeks ago we moved into our new house in Atlantic Beach, FL. We hadn't planned on buying a house here so soon, but when we saw this cute little house (just renovated) on Zillow we thought, "Hey, what not take a look?" I have now learned there is no such thing as "just looking" at houses. We bought the house. The first (and only) house we looked at. We're still unpacking and settling in, but we're loving this house. (And we have real water pressure in the showers. Never underestimate the importance of good water pressure.)

| New house! (Someone's a little excited) |
I still can't quite believe that in less than a year we sold a house, moved cross country, and now are living a mile and a half from the beach. The Coffee Queen has settled into her job (which she loves), and the Little Scoot thrived at his preschool this past year and is super excited for kindergarten (sorry, Saint Paul, we've better schools here, too).
Which all goes to show, don't stay where you are, don't not make a change just because you can't see where the road will take you. Selling our Saint Paul house was hard after so many great years there, but by letting go of it we've found something new that's great, too (did I mention it's a mile and a half from the beach?). And that's what I'm learning from this adventure: to let go of the safe and familiar in order to embrace something new. Scary? Yes. Worth it? Yes.
Now if you'll excuse me, I think I hear the ocean calling my name.
