Oh man!!!
We are so darn close to reaching our goals and attaining the next step in realizing our dreams come true!!
We've been soooo busy traveling and just surviving, and then finally our cases settled...after 2 1/2 looong years!
Now we are anxious to start moving forward in living the simple earthy lives we've been reaching towards for so long.
And we've spent the last few weeks researching available homes and properties that meet our requirements. We've finally decided on a home in the gorgeous, green, inspiring East Mountains area. We've actually picked out a perfect country home for us in Tijeras!
Lots of room! Lots of outdoor space, VERY kid-friendly for imagination and adventures, a horse stable, pastures and fencing, very private with lots of trees and fresh air and acres to roam. The home itself is our style, too, with soaring ceilings, windows everywhere, many areas for our family members to be able to read, think, have private space, and come together for family moments.
Living in the country, out of the over-crowded, polluted city and sterile tract-home suburbia has been a long term goal of ours. A place where our kids can roam and explore safely, just as I did as a child. A place where we can all enjoy simplicity, quiet joy and a slower pace of life. A home where we our family can heal from the last 3 years of pain-filled and frustrating experiences.
A home we can all call our respite, our safe place, and be able to come together and focus on our family and only the basics of joy and happiness.
We think this home just may be it. So we have placed on offer on it, and are waiting to move onto the next step. We will be praying and giving it all to God. Trusting Him in all that we do. He has brought us this far and delivered us from the chaos.
We are so close!!

Ah! Just goes to show that good things come to those who are willing to wait ;).
I can relate to the two year battle. Two years must be the magic number in the court system. We had a legal battle in the not too distant past (totally different thing, and not nearly as traumatic for our family, but frustrating nonetheless) that left me barely able to function on a day-to-day basis. The case would be hashed out between the lawyers for a few weeks and we wouldn't hear anything. Then, just when I was starting to be able to live my life again, we'd get a letter from the lawyer and it would all bubble to the surface. It was hard, especially when their lawyer tried to pull stuff like blaming US. We weren't even here when it all started way back when. We were just trying to get the problem fixed once and for all.
Anyway, I'm happy for you that it all worked out, and that you're (finally) able to move on to the next phase in your lives.
