The South

Last summer we visited Charleston, South Carolina and fell in love with the city.

We decided then that we were ready to pack up our family of five and move to the South.

Being a military family we have lived different places, but always near the ocean.

We moved close to our hometown when my husband went from active duty to reserves. We really didn't think about what we wanted to do in life or where we wanted to live and raise a family. We just did what we thought was the next step in life and moved back to our home state, close to family.

The trip we took last summer was a breath of fresh air for us both.

We decided then that this is what we wanted to do.

We want to move south and live near the sea.

We set goals for ourselves and where we want to be in two years.

We get asked a lot if we will miss the seasons, the falling leaves in autumn and the snowfall in the winter.

The snow is beautiful, but this winter has reassured us even more that we are ready to move South.

Our goals we are working towards are:

- Being debt free
     We want to be debt free before we move and we are currently using Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace          
         plan to reach our goal.

- My husband is working on getting his degree and certifications

- We are waiting until our oldest son graduates from high school

- We are preparing our home to be put on the market in less than two years
