The original plan, you may remember, was for me to take a year off, cushioned by more than adequate savings, so I could focus on writing and taking care of the home. It was a solid plan on paper. Maybe in time, it would have yielded exciting, fulfilling fruit. We'll never know, because we kind of threw a wrench into it.
We bought a house last month.
Don't get me wrong: it was the right decision. It's a great house, and we got it for an unbelievably great price. Sometimes you have to strike while the iron is hot, so we did. We're both very excited with our choice, and we can't wait to move in!
But it's safe to say that this huge life decision has placed us on a completely different track than before. We live in Edmonton right now, but our new house is in Nova Scotia. We'll be embarking on a cross-country move before the year is over. That's no small task, and it's already completely disrupting a plan that was just finding its footing.
