Building a life not just a Home #LifeonCarolinaLane

Building a life not just a Home.

Surprise, we bought another property!! Our “forever home” in fact!

Let me give you a little back story to catch you up to speed on how I got to this place today.

I was always the girl who had big dreams and big plans to see the world, to run from everything that remotely felt like a routine. I lived life without fear. I was independent in every sense of the word. I traveled to over 26 countries and lived all over the world. But one thing remained a steady foundation in my life, and that was family. This lifestyle was adventurous, free and taught me some great life lessons, it was exactly what I needed and had to do in order for me to have found this place today.

Content.

Not in the settle for less type of way but the most peaceful place knowing that I know who I am today more than ever. I let the wild side of my soul run until I couldn’t run anymore. I will be forever grateful for the life I lived and today I sit here more excited than ever for this next chapter.

I realized, the older I got and further away I was,  what I needed the most to make my heart happy at the end of the day and that was to be close to family. I am so excited to build this home with a man who gives me more love than I knew was possible. Someone whose love for his own family and mine is deep rooted to the core.

I feel so grateful.

Quoting one of my favorites

“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late, or in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.” -F. Scott Fitzgerald

We are excited to share this labor of love project with you over the next year!

Be sure to follow my Forever Home Inspiration for what we have planned!

 

Xx,

    This house I can totally see your vision. It will be beautiful. I actually thought we built our forever home(pre kids not kid friendly) had to sell now living with my mil and my big family four kids and hubby. We are saving and after praying and thinking I also want to buy a fixer upper and make it our forever home. So when the right house comes along and god’s time I know it will be right for us. So excited for you. Can’t wait to watch the progress. Xoxo
