Taking That Leap

Yes I can say I am pretty scared of what the future holds. I am now in the process of purchasing a new house. Finally getting out of the renting game. The hard part will be moving away from the city and my friends. Although I lived most of my childhood life on the land where I am soon to have my house, I am still worried. It will be like starting all over. I wonder if I can survive away from all the things I have come accustomed to. This seems like I am moving into the forest millions of miles away, but its not that bad. About 30 minutes from Lafayette to be exact. Shopping and schools aren't that far. I just wish I could move all of my friends with me. I am so selfish. Since my husband Michael is always gone I find myself needing more time with my friends to fill in the empty spaces. I enjoy taking my little girl to the park here and going places that I like to go. Like the gym that I love and all the variety of restaurants. One small town away seems like a whole country. I guess I can just put more gas into the budget and try my hardest to get over my anxiety of meeting new people. The schools aren't the best in the new area and I worry that I will have to home school or private school Ava. Looking into pricing seems to be discouraging. I hope that I can turn my fears into excitement. I just know I will build us a good home and provide Ava with what she needs. Here's to me trusting my instincts and taking the jump into home buying. Wish me luck...
