Where I've Been.

I know not many people read this blog but this post is like a new beginning, fresh start, for me type post. 

When we first bought our house and listed off all the DIY's and such I was really excited to start this blog and document our progress and what we do around here and all of that fun stuff. But I didn't factor in life and my own personal issues. I had big dreams and even bigger expectations of myself and of how our life was "supposed" to be. 

The reality though is that I have depression. I've had depression for 11 years now and I've had good times and really bad times. Due to this and other personality flaws I am not very consistent. So we've started projects and started plans but we haven't really followed through with them. 

ANYWAYS... I am going to talk about my depression and my journey and stuff like that in the future but this is not the post for that. 

What I want to say here is that my husband and I have found a way to essentially cure my depression without any medications. So being depression free I have all new motivation and energy to do the things that I want to do and that I am interested in. 

Another really exciting thing that Tyler and I have decided is that we are going to stay in our TYNI cottage indefinitely. We have come up with a floor plan that will suit our needs (which I will share in the future) and we are really excited about it!

Staying in this house equals so many awesome things. Like a very affordable mortgage ($200 less than what we paid in rent). More freedom to travel and do fun activities. And an all around smaller space to clean and maintain. We have also come up with a 5 year renovation plan that we will be able to do everything and remain debt free! I can even go into more depth on our decision to stay here in another post. 

So I'm writing here to let you know you will be hearing a lot more from me and I'm glad to be back. Happy, Depression free, and with a fun new plan! 

thanks for reading!
