We are running from our old roots.

 Feb 20, 2022

It started off with a dream. Then a savings. And now, a plan.

It looks easy enough when you list it out on paper, leaving no room for sub-bullets.

Usually things on paper look so much more complicated in the details.

The introduction; For us, it was the decision to leave this town. To stake our flag on our forever homestead. To create room for our legacy. A piece of land that will remember our families memories, the memories that will be passed down for generations. Every drop of sweat and every footprint.

The body of our story is much more complicated. It's finding a piece of heaven on earth in Montana. Montana is the dream. Funny enough, it seems to be a lot of families dream. But, making the sacrifices to get there takes a lot of hard work and a lot of saving. This means I can't play the same games as so many around me. Gambling their lively hood on making a living off of others hard work. Upgrading their fast fashion on both their bodies and their furniture. My home is filled with outdated panel walls and cabinets.

I AM spoiled rotten, don't think otherwise.

Our dream was decided. Want and need became very clear. We continued to search daily for a place in Montana. We drove the state making notes as we stopped, finding where we wanted to land. When our phones lit up with a Trego, MT listing, we knew it was it. We knew this was the place for us. We took it.

With the land purchased and the title in hand, we are all in. We are no longer dreaming. We are planning. We are picking out the most beautiful home to build, just for our family. We are so happy to have saved our lives from what is coming towards us. We are running from our old roots to plant them someplace safe.
