The time has come! We are beyond excited to begin this next chapter of our lives! We drove down to Orlando this past weekend and have completely junked up my in-laws house with all of our “irreplaceable treasures”. Sorry about that, Butch and Cindy!

And now we’re enjoying three days of kid free fun at their island house, then they’ll bring the kids down to join us for the rest of the week. Do I have the best in-laws in the world? Yes, yes, I do.

The word I think best sums up our transition is “weightless”. I think we didn’t realized just how much of a burden we’ve been carrying for the past 2 years carving a path to freedom. It was not easy and we both made a lot of sacrifices. Dave Ramsey says, ” You have to live like no one else, so later on you can live like no one else.” And it’s true beyond finances. Man, I feel so liberated to be done with those “Joneses”! I’ve got my family. I’ve got my health. New adventures everyday. Life is good.

Next post will be coming from Dublin, Cheers!
