Wow, exciting! I can’t wait until we’re able to do something similar. I am so not a city girl. Life in the country runs so much slower and is just more relaxing (at least for me). Enjoy.

Wow! What a wonderful thing to do!

Wish I were brave enough to take that step…I know a great place to live in the country, but am too chicken to do without a salary. The university has canceled its policy of encouraging telecommuting and the president has announced that henceforth no one will be allowed to telecommute. Green, eh? So I’d have to retire to get away with what you’re doing.

Hope you love every moment of your new life!

Wow! What an exciting life change! We will keep your family in prayer, as you watch things fall into place.

We had about 6 weeks to tie up loose ends and move to a new state. It was kind of nice to have a quick time frame. It kept me on my toes.

Enjoy the mnts.! I like living by them, but love my mall and Starbucks just a few minutes away too. Ha!

Fantastic!! I think it is a wonderful decision and I just know that when you look back on it, you’ll be extremely happy you made the change.

We recently did the same thing – I now telecommute, and hubby has his own business for which he travels (perhaps 1-2 weeks out of the month). We purchased a small home on 4 acres, built a large metal shop for our woodworking/gearhead/art hobbies, and we are presently creating a half acre garden for which we devised a rain barrel water collection/drip irrigation system. The property taxes are dirt cheap, the PUD is far less expensive than the energy bill in town, and the peace & quiet are priceless. We drive less, shop less, spend less, and have never been so happy!

Congratulations on following your bliss, I am really happy for you. Be sure to keep us posted!

(btw, have you thought about hanging on to your house in town as a RE investment/rental? That’s what we decided to do).
