Housing Boom

"Isn't it just the way life is: one foot in front of the other, day by day, slow steady cadence, patience and then BAM, you slip through a wonderful wormhole and feel hugely propelled forward in what feels like an instant"  - Lisa Byrne


This is how I feel right now.  


"Where are we going to live next?".  This question has haunted, inspired and scared us since Andrew was born and we felt the need for more SPACE.  And since having Owen and Sarah, the drumbeat of MORE SPACE has been pounding.  But always tempered with "its great here", "the location is awesome", "in New York, this would be a palace", "be grateful for all we do have".  


So the question lingered.  Do we stay here where we love it, we have friends and are finally feeling really connected, but prices are just insanely expensive, or do we move to Northern California which is also insanely expensive but filled with friends and family too?  


Finally about 10 days ago, on a whim we drove by yet another neighborhood, but this time I felt it.  The "it", the answer.  


Here. Home. Future. Family.  And its in Irvine.


So we here we are.  We've met with realtors, new carpet and paint is on the way.  Things are moving.  We are moving.
